I'm pretty concerned that his body carries a bunch or yuppie western diseases that these poor people don't have an immunity against. There aren't very many Sentinelese to begin with and he just introduced a whole new host of bacteria

I don't think it's sad at all. I think it is Justice. Missionary work is an unequivocally bad thing; it is cultural genocide. I spent much of my teen years in a remote part of Papua New Guinea where my parents were working for the local Catholic mission. Missionary work is probably the best example of the horrible term "virtue signalling" out there. It's all talk about how they are going to help the people, but what it really boils down to who can get the most converts: like a heavenly score board. With different sects competing against each other and offering incentives to communities to switch "sides". Arrogance, paternalism, and western supremacism are how missionaries treat the people they are supposedly there to help. Missionary work destroys and impoverishes communities; these are the same people who push "traditional values" back home but see nothing inconsistent with trying to replace a 60,000 year old culture with a 2,000 year old one. As for a "right time" to contact "uncontacted" tribes, it has to be completely on the tribe's time table. There has to be a right to not be contacted or to drop out of societal "progress". In short, missionary work can only be understood as a hate crime and should be a criminal offence.
