if killed by a zed...

I personally think it would be neat if you were killed by a zed your corpse would be on the ground for a few minutes but if not it would eventually get up and start walking around being a zed itself. Soo if you did not get back to your body in time you would have to kill your own zed to get your stuff back or someone else could do it . Zedception.

A zed does pretty much replace your dead body in a way. That'd be okay, but not really needed atm, as there is a lot more to do for the mod first!

So something along the lines of what happens in the mod No More Room In Hell, I'd like to see something like that, although I don't know if it would fit with something like Day Z, but it would be nice.

Not going to happen, sorry. Rocket has made it clear that this is an infection, not the dead coming back to life. Think of the zombies in terms of a movie such as I Am Legend where the zombies are just mutated/infected people and not people who were killed and came back to life.

This is an interesting idea, but how would you know what zed's were once a player? And how far would they go from where you died?
