When a person dies, does he or she empty their bladder and move their bowels?

Question

At the moment of death does a person pass any urine in their bodies and have a BM? Or does everything just tighten up?

Answer 1

When you die you totally relax and your bladder and bowels ar released.

Answer 2

(I wouldnt trust someone that thinks the kidneys hold fluids.....)

Your bowel and bladder, have sphincters, a sphincter is a circular muscle which normally maintains constriction of a natural body passage or orifice and which relaxes as required by normal physiological functioning, those muscles relaxes when you urinate or defecate. When you die you lose muscular control, wel, because you're death, so this muscles relaxes and voila! all its content goes outside.
Those sphincters are:
# The sphincter urethrae, or urethral sphincter, controlling the exit of urine from the body.

# At the anus, there are two sphincters which control the exit of feces from the body (internal anal sphincter and external anal sphincter). The inner sphincter is involuntary and the outer voluntary.
