In _Hunter x Hunter_ episode 148, we can clearly see that Meruem and Komugi's
body holding each other hand, found already dead.

Why didn't the hunter associate search for Meruem's body? Did the bunker that
Meruem located at is really invisible?

Why didn't the hunter associate search for Meruem's body after his death?


So after some research I was unable to find canon material relating as to what
actually happened to
**[Meruem's](http://hunterxhunter.wikia.com/wiki/Meruem)** body after his
death. However, it would be safe to say that the **[Hunters
Association](http://hunterxhunter.wikia.com/wiki/Hunter_Association)**
probably is: aware of it/has it/destroyed it.

During the **[13th Hunter Chairman Election
Arc](http://hunterxhunter.wikia.com/wiki/13th_Hunter_Chairman_Election_arc)**
it was stated that **[Pariston
Hill](http://hunterxhunter.wikia.com/wiki/Pariston_Hill)** managed to get all
of the unhatched Chimera Ant eggs and wants to play with them. ( Hunter ×
Hunter - Volume 31, Chapter 331).This indicates the Association has been there
since the final battle and have handled some of the aftermath. The Hunters
Association also had knowledge of the layout of the entire facility thanks to
**[Palm](http://hunterxhunter.wikia.com/wiki/Palm_Siberia)** going under
cover, so I doubt that they would over look the secret bunker.

Now it is good to remember that Meruem was poisoned by the **[Poor Man's
Rose](http://hunterxhunter.wikia.com/wiki/Poor_Man%27s_Rose)** bomb after his
fight with **[Netero](http://hunterxhunter.wikia.com/wiki/Isaac_Netero)** and
that led to his death. One of the properties of this bomb that made it so
deadly was the fact that:

> The poison catalyzes the production and emission of new poison until the
> victims finally succumb to death.(Hunter × Hunter - Volume 28, Chapter 298)

It is not stated whether the body keeps emitting the poison after death. So it
wouldn't be outlandish to say that Hunters Association don't want to go near
it for fear of the poison spreading. So the could easily be biding their time
until it is save to retrieve the body.
