Default $EntityList->DeleteNPCCorpses();

Does anyone know if it is possible to make quests so that an NPC will delete it's own corpse when it dies? I have many cases where mobs don't have loot for certain reasons and I would love if I could just make the corpses automatically poof when they die. One case is a zone that is purely for experience, so it has no loot. People like to AE in there alot, but it causes quite a heavy load on my server and the zone can crash sometimes. Another reason is for adds that spawn during certain encounters that don't have any loot, and their corpses can cause lag to players after too many build up. So, these are 2 good reasons why I would love to just have the corpses vanish.

So far, I have tried:

Code:
sub EVENT_DEATH {

#quest::depop();
#$Corpse->Delete(2700660);
$EntityList->GetCorpseByID(2700660);
$NPC->DeleteNPCCorpses();

}
And a couple of other ways, but none seem to work. If there isn't currently a way to do it, then it might be a good idea for some new custom code to write. I think this would come in handy on pretty much every server in certain cases.
