Yes, I believe the person you named, who was brought in dead, was a Weighman.
Here is a link for The Indian Army mentioning Weighmen.
See article mentioning Non Combatants / Followers -
Those Indians who were not involved in a combat role were classed as non-combatants (followers). They included a whole host of professions including bakers, blacksmiths, butchers, carpenters, cooks, hammerman, gardeners, herdsman, shoemakers, shoeing smiths, packers, sweepers, syces, tailors, washermen, weighmen etc.
