Re: Exhumations
The methane gas builds up and expands the skin to the point of rupture, and as the body begins to dehydrate, it shapes all parts of a corpse in to some rather troubling images. Most people buried in caskets and burial vaults remain fairly unchanged for decades......MOST. |

Re: Exhumations
It depends on conditions. People who do exhumations, for example, when a graveyard is moved, say that one coffin can contain someone almost perfectly preserved and many of the others look like Evil Dead II. Amount of groundwater is a factor, as is integrity of the vault / casket. But in mausoleums the body is usually eaten by phorid flies and liquifies. They even have drains. Once in a while, a casket is too good (leakproof) and a mausoleum has 'Exploding Casket Syndrome' when gas isn't released slowly. No shrapnel or anything, just a big stinky mess. If you look online, you can find pictures of crypts with liquid shit oozing out of them.

Re: Exhumations
I forgot to mention, those pics are from Africa. Those fuckers can't even rot properly when unsupervised. Your not supposed to be covered in maggots buried in the ground, unless your too lazy or distractable to fill the grave with earth on top of the body. Just like Obama's Chicago, black owned graveyard owners were too lazy to bury the corpses, they just threw them out in a field in back. Now they face criminal charges.

Re: Exhumations
Yes, ground water has a lot to do with it. I have done about 34 exhumations in the last 6 years, and all of them are unique in their own way. We took up a guy buried in 1973, just a standard steel casket. The casket had about rusted away, but his socks where intact, and he had cobwebs in his eye sockets.

Re: Exhumations
And about above bround burials, you are absoloutly correct, if the body gases off to quickly, you will have a horrible,sticky, stinky mess. Flys will gather at the vent holes, and the funeral home will recieve some calls not long after.

Re: Exhumations
That is why caskets are sold as "air tight", air does not get in. But, they are not gas tight, the casket burps the methane gas out ito the surrounding container, and if it can not escape, then you have some rather unpleasent problems. Have you ever seen a body turn into " grave soap " ? If you have, you will not forget it. |
