They are actors with lots make-up on. I have never heard of someone willing a body to entertainment, as someone answered, that is just plain silly. Can you imagine your mom or loved one being in a horrible accident and then being like "Oh, I think instead of a funeral I will have her mutilated body put on CSI!" Think about this before you answer, people!!! Of course they do not use real corpses!! They are all actors or dummies!

Actually, the cadavers on CSI are done with great special effects work -- I've seen the special they did on it. Also, this is from an interview at NE/FX with one of the CSI people, Matthew Mungle:
"NE-FX: Some of our members have done simple casting of heads and body parts, but not many have had the experience of something as large as a whole body. With regard to the cadavers on CSI: Miami, what are they made of? Also, what amount of time is needed to make one?
MM: WELL, the time normally need is 3 weeks but we are only given 5-6 days to produce a full cadaver. Luckily we have a large stock of body molds at our finger tips and we just take a head cast of the actor and join it onto a stock body. The bodies are made of silicone with individual hairs punched for hairlines, eyebrows and lashes.
NE-FX: That sounds like an extreme process for such a short timetable, do they get names?
MM: No, not really."
Hope this clears up your question!

most of their "cadavers" are the actors laying still. When they have to use a fake, it's very obvious

In some cases real live actors play the corpses, you know, when they aren't all cut open and stuff... other times they use realistic fakes hand-crafted by make-up artists.

I have read they are REAL LIVE actors. lotsa makeup. VERY desirable job. MUCH competition. On rare occasions, you may see eyelash flutter or slight chest breathing, but it is very rare.

Do you really think they would put dead people on tv??? I don't think so. But they do make them look life like.
