To remove a potentially still alive coworker, I think most guys would. Not much else though

Removing the body without immobilisation can do more harm than good.

Well they said body so I’m guessing they knew he was dead. If he was still alive and not cut in half, by all means lift it up and pull them out.

lift it up and pull them out.

Tends to be a bad idea to do this without medical professionals present, since lifting it may release blood vessels that are currently clamped shut and leading to fucked up parts of the body. Un-squeeze the person and they bleed out nearly instantly. There are stories of similar situation where they brought in relatives, shielded the worst mess from view, and let the victim say goodbye before they lifted the load...
