but is it real? I thought seeing as most people on here pretty much know their stuff when it comes to gore I would post a poll to see if you think these photos are real or fake, and why?

(hope it's ok to post this)

Apparently this is a simulation of the finding of a moderately decomposed person, for the purposes of training, or photographs for a training video. I think the level of detail here is amazing, and it looks incredibly realistic. Everything from the bloating, to the slippage and tongue protrusion looks ummm..... life-like??? I guess it was done by a professional Hollywood special effects company. A couple of pictures of the construction are attached as well.

I think it's in the medical section. TX State University has a program where they set bodies out in the elements and study different effects at different stages. It was a good story & a not well known fact.
