What does "Witness Decaying" mean?

Suddenly all my colonists got sad with this as a hint on the Happiness tab... idk what it is or how to prevent it...

Someone died, and everyone saw it.
As in Witnessed someone dropping dead.

Maybe... But I had a bunch of people die and there wasn't this thing...

Just now I thought it must be for the bodies decaying outside a burial place. I did have a bunch of people die in a nuclear fallout and only had 1 guy in the cemetery lol

yeah, i think it will start applying if you have a bunch of dead bodies lying about as well.. build a few temporary burial pits to get things cleaned up and they cost less resources to build.... then throw a feast to get a happiness boost
