my friend bled to death, and was still bleeding PROFUSELY when i found him....i have never seen so much blood in my life, and it was fresh and red. noone seems to know how this happened. he was on blood thinners and inhalers which cause nosebleeds, among other things....
death report falsified, blood not mentioned, no autopsy, cremated. i would like to find out what this meant.
thank you. this is absolutely not a joke or fake question.

"Still bleeding"? Did you see pulsatile flow of blood ejected from the body? Or did you observe an ooze of brighter blood on top of a darker layer? The former is what we might call arterial bleeding or active bleeding and it is a sign that there is still cardiac activity, or at least circulatory activity from something ( like cardiac bypass, or really good CPR). The latter happens a lot for hours after death as the blood clots, separates, and reddish plasma rises, then runs off the top of clotted blood as the body is moved. That, in exact terms, is not "bleeding profusely", but "bled profusely". Also, in an exsanguinating nose bleed, there may be a half liter of blood in the mouth , nose, and upper airway, and still more in the respiratory tree. When the body is moved, that blood, as clot or separated plasma, flows out. All of this is consistent with a state several hours after death when rigor mortis may have begun.
About the medical and coroners report- don't get too bent, the doctors do not comment on external blood- it is not important to what they have to report on.

Rigor mortis only affects the muscles of the body, not the blood. So, if there is a hole, the blood can leak out. Although, if the heart isn't beating anymore (which happens with rigor mortis), the blood probably flows slowly.

It must be because of the blood thinners. They keep the blood from clotting.

You might consider asking his family. I'm pretty sure that you wouldn't be successful in getting information any other way.
Blood is very viscous and it's appearance is that it is more than if it were another fluid, but your experience still sounds odd.
I'm sorry for you loss.

I don't think that's physically possible (not to mention that the blood should have clotted).

i would think that since he was on blood thinners even after his dealth his blood was so thin that he kept on bleeding
