Thanks Sharon. I gave you five stars, because of the information included and the awesome carpet smear. Look closely and you can guess exactly what the guy was up to. He dranks some brews... ALOT! and then took a shower. He was drying his head when he just falls down dead. Heart attack or whatever. You can even see where his gnads smear the carpet as well. He died with the towel on his head.

From all I have read, the word soul is translated from the Hebrew word Nephesh and has no other meaning than life or breath. The concept of soul does not actually exist in the Hebrew texts.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Christian and non-Christian use, see Soul.
The concept of Soul in the Bible is represented in Hebrew, the original language of the Hebrew Bible, as nephesh, and in Greek, the language of the Septuagint and New Testament, as psūchê (ψυχή).

According to modern critical scholarship, the traditional Christian concept of an immaterial and immortal soul distinct from the body was not found in Judaism before the Babylonian Exile, but was developed as a result of interaction with Persian and Hellenistic philosophies. Accordingly, the Hebrew word nephesh, although translated as "soul" in some older Bibles, actually has a meaning closer to "living being". Nephesh was rendered in the Septuagint as ψυχή, the Greek word for soul. The New Testament also uses the word ψυχή, but with the Hebrew meaning and not the Greek.

The only Hebrew word traditionally translated "soul" (nephesh) in English language Bibles refers to a living, breathing conscious body, rather than to an immortal soul.

In the New Testament, the Greek word traditionally translated "soul" (ψυχή) has substantially the same meaning as the Hebrew, without reference to an immortal soul.

Moreover, the word nephesh is used for both human and animal.

I heard the body becomes stiff because your arms & legs muscles. They have these tiny hooks that keep them contracted, it takes energy to unravel and muscles to extend. When you die it your lose energy and muscles contract naturally to their contracted position. Then the tiny hooks decompose and body just extends like a rag doll.

Weird how something so gross can be so interesting.
