Document Summary

Deeper into decomposition we get skin slippage and discoloration. It"s called degloving where your outer skin layer just slides off. Insect colonization flies colonize a body within 15 seconds of death. They"ll lay eggs in natural bodily orifices like eyes, nose, mouth, or a wound. After the body decomposes and there"s not alot of moisture in the air, you get mummified! It can last a long long time . It"s grave fat, its a waxy fat that can preserve the body. Bacteria turn unsaturated(liqiuid) fats into saturated(solid) fats and the fats form on your organs and body. Hundreds and hundreds of years. death: irreversible stop of cardiovascular system, respitory system, and central nervous system. Anthropopohagy - animal feeding on a body. sometimes it can resemble injuries from before death. Pathology: the study of the nature of disease and its causes, processes, development, and consequences.
