Yeah, cause Shirou's body is human and started breaking down the moment Satan possessed him. We know demons can possess the dead cause Ghouls are a thing, so assuming Satan possesses the same capacity, he could possess Rin's corpse and still have a body much more capable of containing his power than the average human.

but not all demons are capable of possessing a dead body. its been implied that only certain demons, those that are of the kin of astaroth, possess dead/dying beings in assiah
