Pictures That Show Adipocere (Grave Wax) on Dead Bodies

These pictures show a visual reference of what is known as grave wax, or the technical term, Adipocere. After death, it seems the body gets covered, almost mummified, in this natural occurring process.

Adipocere, also known as grave wax, is a grayish-white postmortem substance caused by fat decomposition, which results from hydrolysis and hydrogenation of the fatty cells that compose subcutaneous fat tissues.

Although decomposition of fatty tissues starts almost immediately after death, adipocere formation time can vary from two weeks to one or two months, on average. Factors such as temperature, embalming, burial conditions, and materials surrounding the corpse can hasten or prolong these average timelines.

You can read more about Adipocere on wikipedia, yet they don't have any pictures https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adipocere
