Well, quoting some Circlecode (tm:) from fight.c :
GET_OBJ_TYPE(corpse) = ITEM_CONTAINER;
GET_OBJ_WEAR(corpse) = ITEM_WEAR_TAKE;
GET_OBJ_EXTRA(corpse) = ITEM_NODONATE;
GET_OBJ_VAL(corpse, 0) = 0; /* You can't store stuff in a corpse */
GET_OBJ_VAL(corpse, 2) = IS_NPC(ch) ? -1 : GET_IDNUM(ch);
GET_OBJ_VAL(corpse, 3) = 1; /* corpse identifier */
This comes from make_corpse().
So, in general if:
if (GET_OBJ_TYPE(obj) == ITEM_CONTAINER && GET_OBJ_VAL(obj, 3) == 1)
then you have a corpse... this needs that obj is a pointer to a 'filled'
struct of the type obj_data, but that should be normal knowledge :)
Hope this is of some use though I think I'm a little late with this reply,
