Where the energy is contained in a human body goes when we die?

Question

If the energy can't be destroyed only transformed in some other type of energy...where the energy contained in a human body (not the human remains) goes or in wich kind of energy is transformed when we died?

Answer 1

Kind of a morbid question.

I can only think of two types of energy in a corpse after a person dies. First is thermal. Body heat will dissipate into the surrounding until it gets cold. The rest is chemical energy. The body is basically food or fertilizer for bacterial, worms, plants, and other animals. It will be transformed into other type of energy when the body is eaten or decomposed/absorbed by something else

Answer 2

There is no form of energy in a body other than the chemical energy present in the molecular structure. It doesn't go anywhere.

Answer 3

I think the bacteria eat us. Convert flesh into energy to grow more of themselvs and then they die. And the dead bug remains and leftover bits of us get converted back to elements.
