When someone dies what happens to their body?

After death, the cells are depleted of their energy source and the protein filaments become locked in place. This causes the muscles to become rigid and locks the joints. During these early stages, the cadaveric ecosystem consists mostly of the bacteria that live in and on the living human body.

Where do dead bodies go?

Normally, the body is transported to a morgue or mortuary. Depending on the circumstances of the death, an autopsy may be performed. The body is then usually taken to a funeral home. The funeral home prepares it to be viewed by friends and family or makes it ready for burial or cremation.

Who can declare someone dead?

You can declare a person officially dead when a doctor or medical examiner for a mortuary says the person is dead. Just because someone is missing, does not mean that they are declared dead.

Is it possible to bring someone back from the dead?

It’s not scientifically possible to bring someone back from the dead after three days in the grave. By that point, putrefaction has gotten to the point that information-theoretic death has occurred: That is, the information in the person’s brain has become unrecoverable, so that the person they were is no longer there. It’s a matter of entropy.

How to find out if someone has passed away?

Gather as much as information as you can about the individual who you are looking for.

When is a person really dead?

The outer boundaries are obvious – a walking, talking individual is alive, a body with rigor mortis is not – but the precise instant when a person is considered dead is uncertain. If the heart stops beating long enough, the person dies. But a stopped heart often can be restarted; this is routine during heart surgery.
