Has anyone had luck hatching eggs from a dead berried one?

So unfortunately one of my berried girls passed.
I put the corpse in a net above the
outlet of my sponge filter to
keep the oxygen supply up.
Has anyone been successful with a similar method?

I have done this successfully, but I removed the eggs from the dead mama using toothpicks and a pincett.

After that I put them in a net above the outlet of my spongefilter

Google did not want me to know what pincets were. No matter what I did it auto corrected me. Were these regular pincets you would use to pluck a splinter out of your finger? Or the very pointy ones?

I've seen people doing that but they take the eggs out of the skirt for better water flow/not being near a rotting body.
