You mean the smell that starts after like a week unless the corpse is directly exposed to the sun?

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 24 points 1 week ago (4 children)

I mean the smell from the fact most things void their bowels upon death.

That's just what big corporations want you to think. How many times have you witnessed this?

big dave, but he's just voiding his bowels constantly so i wasn't sure

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 2 points 1 week ago

In animals? Several times.

In a human? Only once. (only seen one human die)

Yeah I've seen a number of people recently deceased and I can't remember one having voided their bowels. This includes after I violently compressed their chest for like 15 minutes over and over to the tune of a hit '70s song.

It's not so bad. There are several new songs that are easy to remember to 100 beats per minute.

I'd just volunteer my buttplug

Planes should have emergency buttplugs.

Just to echo dozzi, I've investigated quite a few deaths and had people die and we did cpr... I think I can only remember one that voided the bowels after death, and a few right before (old people die on the toilet surprisingly often).
