<p>In <em>Hunter x Hunter</em> episode 148, we can clearly see that Meruem and Komugi's body holding each other hand, found already dead.</p>

<p>Why didn't the hunter associate search for Meruem's body? Did the bunker that Meruem located at is really invisible?</p>

So after some research I was unable to find canon material relating as to what actually happened to **[Meruem's](http://hunterxhunter.wikia.com/wiki/Meruem)** body after his death. However, it would be safe to say that the **[Hunters Association](http://hunterxhunter.wikia.com/wiki/Hunter_Association)** probably is: aware of it/has it/destroyed it.

During the **[13th Hunter Chairman Election Arc](http://hunterxhunter.wikia.com/wiki/13th_Hunter_Chairman_Election_arc)** it was stated that **[Pariston Hill](http://hunterxhunter.wikia.com/wiki/Pariston_Hill)** managed to get all of the unhatched Chimera Ant eggs and wants to play with them. ( Hunter × Hunter - Volume 31, Chapter 331).This indicates the Association has been there since the final battle and have handled some of the aftermath. The Hunters Association also had knowledge of the layout of the entire facility thanks to **[Palm](http://hunterxhunter.wikia.com/wiki/Palm_Siberia)** going under cover, so I doubt that they would over look the secret bunker.

Now it is good to remember that Meruem was poisoned by the **[Poor Man's Rose](http://hunterxhunter.wikia.com/wiki/Poor_Man%27s_Rose)** bomb after his fight with **[Netero](http://hunterxhunter.wikia.com/wiki/Isaac_Netero)** and that led to his death. One of the properties of this bomb that made it so deadly was the fact that:
