I have had this happen to me before. Just petition next time you are in game and a
guide will bring your corpse to you. Do not try and recover it again because it is
impossible to do so, at least as far as I have seen. make your petition something
like /petition I tried to help another player in OOT and ended up stuck in a patch
of water and drowned. Mine was something of the sort and they just told me hang on
and I appeared on an island in OOT and there was my corpse on the dock, Hope that
helps.
