They made the poor bereaved parents travel back to Vienna with the Baroness' corpse, propped up upright in their coach, so as to create the illusion that she hadn't died there.

Oh. Just, oh. That's so appalling. And most of those 'romantic' suicide things turn out to be idiotic. Antony and Cleopatra being an exception because they had run out of options. And also because Cleopatra held off on it until she was sure what her fate was going to be.
