corpse, remains, flag radical (no. 44)
尸 centers on a lifeless human body: a corpse or remains. The radical sense is the same shape used as a component in other characters, often related to the body or covering.
尸 is a pictograph of a person lying down or a body at rest, representing a corpse. The modern form retains the simplified outline of a prone figure.
The shape looks like a person lying flat with legs extended, like a body laid out. 尸 is a corpse.
For シ, imagine a sheet draped over the corpse: sheet -> シ, covering the lifeless body.
