I think that Hoscutt can tell them not to move his body, since he got stabbed in the back, maybe they left him and hoped he'd survive? It's possible he died between Chapters 9 and 10 as the last we hear is Hoscut asking Brennan to fetch the surgeon's kit. It's possible either they couldn't find it (Henry Evans having escaped by this point), or that they patched him up but he died from his wounds, and they were probably focusing on their mutiny plan by that point. Either that or Hoscut pulled seniority and told them to leave him.

Either that or they patched him up and left him, I mean they left poor Timothy Butement's body hanging there the whole time as far as we know, since his leg is STILL there in the present day when he was killed in Chapter 3. Granted Lewis got distracted when he was cutting the rope to let Timothy's body loose in Escape 2, but still you'd think they'd go back for it unless they made sudden plans for the mutiny.
