When an animal or human die, there are always whiteworms as they play an essential part in the process of decomposition.

In this process 'FLIES' are the most important insects that are typically involved in the process. While eating the decomposing flesh, they lay eggs which becomes the larva commonly known as maggots. These maggots are the whiteworm you are asking for. They begin to feed on the decomposing flesh until they will become an adult fly.

Without the fly, still whiteworms of another type are found. Another explanation would be: when the body dies,decomposition of animal proteins, especially by anaerobic microorganisms take place and the decomposing flesh becomes the food of all the bacteria within the body surface. Any of the insect egg harboured by the body before death gets free to undergo the normal process it is supposed to do, thus presence of this whitworms will be seen once more.

Are you referring to maggots? They are the larvae of flies that eat decomposing flesh. Certain types of maggots are used in medicine to clear away infected/rotting tissue and considered very helpful.

this is natures way of disposing of dead matter .
The carcase is quickly disposed of in this way

Flies lay their eggs in carcases
and these ;
hatch out into larvae ( worms ) who eat the flesh,
and then pupate to become adult flies ,
who in turn lay eggs on rotting meat .

This way the flesh is all disposed of , leaving only hair and bones .

It looks an unpleasant process,
but it is natures way, and it does get rid of the smell & the putrid.rotting matter .
