what is with all the questions regarding rigamortis tonight?
was there a special assignment in anatomy 101 today, or is this site just being bombarded with a slew of occult members this evening?

Watch Bones on FOX. It depends on the enviroment. If it is filled with the right insect less than an hour. At the other extreme there are mumies. In between there is very cold, with or without watervery hot, dry or not just lotsa variables.

There are a lot of factors to take into consideration so there is no current definate answer. Today, we eat a lot of foods with preservatives which slow down the decomposition rate, also certain vaults and caskets seal out the air and outside factors also helping to preserve the body.

It depends on the conditions of where your corpse turns up, for instance in a dry salty area, your body can naturally mummify and never completely be just bones. This is the case for a lot of the natural mummies of Egypt, and the a lot of the ice mummies .

There are many different answers to your question.
Time of death, place, humidity, heat/cold etc all have an effect on how the body decomposes.

it depends on environmental conditions that surround the body during the time of decomposition. plus you have to factor in the weight variable as well. there is no one definite answer.

Probably a few months... but who cares, right? Life is good and the afterlife is probably just as cool (for all i know). Live it up, have fun while you're here.

It depends on how much body mass you had and how many insects got busy.
