At the very least Rhesus monkey which is very common in Asia also behaves similarly. Mothers keep carrying the dead young around till they start drying and falling apart.

The first thing that always goes through my head when seeing a headline like this is this: If you even have to ask this question, means that you have spent almost NO time around animals. Having grown up on a farm, I can tell you that animals MUCH less evolved than chimps morn and have emotions just like us. I have morned right beside the mother of several species who have just lost a child. There was no doubt WHAT-SO-EVER what those mothers were experiencing. If you have ever spent time around animals, questions like this just seem silly.

The video just looks like they got bored with the dead body, and went away.

The second example seems pretty different from how humans deal with their dead and suggests that those chimps were unable to recognize death when they saw it.
