So there is actually a semi-valid reason to find a lot of skeletons in bathrooms and not other places, in a post US nuclear apocalypse:
A fair number of buildings are most structurally sound around the bathroom, because those room walls tend to be stronger/reinforced compared to other walls, to be able to handle all the plumbing.
Bathrooms also tend to be located closer to the inside of the building, for basically the same reason.
So, its pretty reasonable that if you heard the sirens go off, had only a minute or two… yeah, sheltering in the bathroom would be the optimal strategy, if you don’t have a basement/cellar.
You’re on the right track, but radiation poisoning is a more likely explanation. It causes severe vomiting and diarrhea. If there ever was a nuclear apocalypse, a lot of people would die in the bathroom.
