WHat does death smell like?

Answer 1

I dunno, but it tastes like burning!

Answer 2

Depends. On the battlefield I imagine that it would smells like blood, gunpowder and decaying and perhaps burnt flesh. Otherwise if a person dies and their body is left somewhere it is a smell of rotting, but I have never smelled it and do not know. I have been with someone when they died. There is no smell at that time. They just stop breathing. It is a very erie sort of thing as if a part of time has stopped.

Answer 3

After a few days? Urine, onions, damp basements and old garbage. Then again, I have noticed that how I remember smells is different from most people and not all bodies smell the same anyway, even if they have been dead for the same amount of time. Why do you want to know this anyway?

Answer 4

It is this sour smell. So sour and gross. I can't explain it... THis old lady that sat on a wheel chair died for days in my building. She lived about two doors away. When went outside the hallway I smelled this nasty smell so sour so gross. I thought someone was cooking something, some people cooking are bad!!! The smell of it.!! And I never smelled a dead person before... anyways she was dead for days and no one knew.... then finally someone reported this...and they found her dead there for days already.

Answer 5

I came home from work one day,found my dog dead.She was old,died in the back yard.It was very hot.I sat and cried till my husband came home.Then we went out to bury her.The smell was so bad,it took days to get the odor out of my nostrils.It was the worst thing in the world.The minute you smell it you will know what it is.
But now I was with my Mother,Father-in-law and Mother-in-law when they died.No odor,I sat with them for hours ,till the morgue came to pick them up.<><

Answer 6

I would think that it would depend on how you die.

If you burn to death, maybe it will smell like a summer barbeque in the backyard.

Hmm.....
