5 strange phenomena occur after death

The cells gradually break down, the body becomes numb, the digestive organs are what will happen when people die.

The cells gradually rupture

After dying for a few minutes, the human body began to decompose. Almost immediately blood becomes more acidic due to carbon dioxide accumulation. The cells are broken down, enzymes cause the cells to digest gradually from within. The body begins to cool, every hour, body temperature drops to about 0.83 degrees Celsius until it reaches room temperature.

White and purple

While the rest of the human body became pale, blood cells moving in the body part closest to the ground were stopped due to gravity, resulting in purple spots of muscle parts. that way.

The body is numb

Numbness occurs about 3-4 hours after death and disappears after 48 hours. Why does it happen? The calcium regulating pumps in the cell membrane stop working, calcium builds up in the cell, causing the muscles to contract and harden.

Internal organs digest

Enzymes in the pancreas and bacteria make organs begin to digest and decompose. The body changes color, first turns green, then purple and black. This process releases putrescine and cadaverine, which are compounds that make up the smell of corpses.

A layer of wax

After decay, the body decomposes quickly to turn into a skeleton. In the process, if the body comes into contact with soil or cold water, it can create adipocere fat, a wax material made up of bacteria that break down tissue. Adipocere acts as a natural preservative on internal organs. It may mislead researchers that a body dies much earlier than they thought, as is the case of a 300-year-old adipocere corpse just found in Switzerland.
