If Cities: Skylines has taught me anything, I can answer this question without reading the article. First, dead bodies start to build up in various buildings, especially well-trafficked buildings such as high density commercial buildings and offices. The presence of the bodies dramatically decreases land value and happiness resulting in an exodus from the city. As people leave the city, demand for new development rapidly decreases, along with revenues. The city quickly digs itself into deep debt as it quickly becomes a ghost town, thousands of buildings become derelict, further decreasing the land value. Nobody wants to live here any more. Chirpy wheezes his last tweet as the last person complains they no longer want to live in this city and leaves. (though, in cities skylines this usually happens because you have so many garbage trucks and hearses trying to collect the dead people & garbage that they all get stuck)
