fledged today

Today my 3rd nest of 6 babies fledged. I went out several hours after seeing the first one leave. I noticed something hanging out of the hole. Upon further inspection, it was a dead bluebird. It had been dead for sometime and wasn't nearly the size of the fledglings. It's head was out of the box and hanging by the neck with remainder of the body inside.


Would the parents tried to get rid of the dead bird? I have not read anywhere that they would do so.
