I was wondering if someone knew whether a dead alchemist could still have plants growing in his pack. Which would be kind of gross, yeah, I know ...

I just finished my first game with a standard group on Hard difficulty and I'm curious to try a 1man party with a farmer, and the only thing really I'd miss is the ability to get plants. Maybe taking one alchemist and have die a horrible death right at the start could count as a 1man team while still giving me the plant benefits...
