What Has Caused A Person Body Turned Dark Yellow?

I happened upon a body being picked up by the paramedics. He had turned a dark shade of yellow. I am horrified, because he was lying in a public place and he had already turned dark yellow. Can you tell me how long he might have been there without someone notifying anyone?
