that was the first article I found in that moment..really, I don't know that I have ever seen WHY ants do that. best explanation given has simply been the oleic acid given off by a dead ant is like a homing beacon for the rest of the nest/colony, which that article did state..though not very well...for that matter, why do they stack their dead like cordwood?..apparently some colonies of ants create interesting shapes from piles of dead ants...hell if I know, ants are alien to me...but the similarities are there...for sure
