more info on why "uninfected" people are becoming zombies when they die...

According to CDC's Edwin Jenner in the TV series, a corpse can reanimate between three minutes and eight hours after death. Executive producer Glen Mazzara addressed why Shanem who was not bit, become a zombie in Better Angels, much faster than Amy: "We worked hard to make sure that revelation landed. We knew what we were doing there. We knew it would land a punch. We’ve never had a main character become a zombie to this extent. Those [rapid flashes of zombie mayhem] represent the storm in Shane’s brain to some extent...Amy was a weaker character. Shane is in a murderous rage … he’s going to reanimate quicker. There’s just more life in that zombie, believe it or not. We do have internal rules for that."[4]

Interestingly, during the second season of the TV series, as the group is stopped on the highway there are multiple dead and decayed bodies that have not reanimated. Kirkman states the reason for this is because the passengers all suffered brain trauma from the car crashes.
