THINGS THAT HAPPEN TO YOUR BODY AFTER YOU PASS AWAY

Added on: 30th Oct 2016

 

OUR BODIES SECRETE PUTRID ODOURS

No other object does “putrid” apply better to than to a corpse.

As our cells die, they release enzymes notifying local

bacteria and fungi of the event. The bacteria and fungi

rush in to begin decomposition, releasing noxious,

putrid gases and odours.

 

 

ANIMALS RUSH IN TO DEVOUR THE BODY

Beyond the bacteria and fungi, blowflies and flesh flies

are attracted to the sweet odours put out by a corpse.

The flies lay eggs which hatch into maggots which start

eating away at the dead flesh. Other creatures such as

mites, ants, spiders and vultures also descend upon the body.

 

 

OUR BODIES CAN MOAN

A post-mortem effect which scares even modern-day doctors

and nurses, our bodies can make sounds after death!

The combination of rigor mortis (including the vocal cord

muscles) and gas secreted by bacteria in our guts can

lead dead bodies to fart, squeak, and even moan.

 

 

THE IMMUNE SYSTEM SHUTS DOWN

Our bacteria-rich guts become a breeding ground for a

massive explosion of bacteria. Once our immune system

shuts off, our gut bacteria begins digesting our

intestines before spreading to other organs.

 

 

OUR EYES BULGE AND TONGUES SWELL

The gases produced in our intestines and from our

decomposing organs also make our eyes bulge from their

sockets and our tongues swell up and extend out of the mouth.

 

 

WE CAN EXPLODE

A few years ago, a video surfaced on the internet of a marine

biologist poking a hole in a dead, beached whale to relieve

the pressure from built-up gas. When he punctures the

whale, an explosion of built-up gas shot out of the

carcass with a loud boom. The same happens to our

bodies. If the gas has nowhere to go, our bodies

will bloat and eventually rupture.

 

 

PUTREFACTION SETS IN

As the body continues to break down, proteins decompose

which lead to the breakdown of cell walls and the loss of

cohesion between tissues. The process results in the

liquefaction of most of our internal organs, turning our

bodies into sloshing, gaseous, bulbous corpses.

 

 

OUR SKIN NEARLY DETACHES

Though our skin loosens, it’s not necessarily a good thing.

Once gases build up in the body, the loosening, or slippage,

of our skin amplifies, detaching our skin from the bones

and muscle underneath.
