There's a Dead Body in My Dining Area

stoutfellowWell, not my dining area; Marcus Camillus' dining area, in his Falkreath mansion.
As I mentioned, I've bought the Hearthfire add-on for Skyrim. I'm loving it. I - or rather my character, Marcus Camillus the Imperial (and I'm not going to bother making that distinction for the rest of this post) - bought a tract of land on the lakeside near Falkreath, and erected a decent-sized mansion: entry hall, main hall, cellar, bedroom wing, library, and trophy room, with an apiary, a garden (a la Granny Weatherwax), and an animal enclosure (one cow, three chickens) attached. In one half of the cellar is a fully-equipped smithy - smelter, tanning rack, forge, grindstone, workbench - and in the other I'm building shrines to the Nine Gods (five set up so far). I've got an alchemy lab on the ground floor and an enchanter's table upstairs. I've installed a steward (Rayya, my Falkreath housecarl), adopted a couple of kids (Lucia from Whiterun, Blaise from Solitude), and married Ysolda the merchant. I had my steward hire a (rather expensive) bard-in-residence. It's a nice little homestead.
After the marriage, I brought Ysolda home, talked to the kids, and puttered around for a while. When everything was as I wanted, we - me, my sidekick Faendal, and Vigilance the dog - stepped out to begin our next adventure. We were immediately attacked by bandits. We retreated into the house (bad move, for several reasons; I won't make that mistake again) and the bandits came after us. Ysolda got the children to safety and Rayya joined the fight, and we were able to put the bandits down. Unfortunately, my bard decided to get involved and was killed.
I was hoping that Rayya (or Ysolda) would get rid of the bard's body before we came back; no dice. The bandits' bodies were gone, but the ex-bard is just lying there, right next to the dining table. I tried dragging him away myself, but got nowhere. (I wouldn't be able to get him out the door, in any case.) Ysolda and the kids keep making remarks about it, but there doesn't seem to be anything I can do. (Of course, it wasn't until a day or two ago that I learned how to put a random object on a shelf. Maybe I'm overlooking something.)
