decomposition after two weeks?

Question

What happens to a body after two weeks of decomposition in a house?

No, I am not a murderer and that comment was quite insensitve. I tried to trace my birth father and well I found out he died so I traced my grandparents and she said because he was an alcoholic he died of a heart attack and no one found him for two weeks. I feel so sick. The police didn't want no one to identify him but his brother did I think and they had to go on dental records.

Some people are ******* bastards on here seriously. I just want to know. I have never seen a photo of my father and all I have now is a picture of him in my head when he died. Just please stop this. I am really upset and I just heard from a friend who is a medical student it wouldn't be that bad but I thought he may have just been coming from the medical point of view which he was.

Oh look, all the c unts have f ucked off from my topic. Did guilt get to you? THINK before you type, losers.

Answer 1

MMMMMM......BLOATS.....TONGUE PROTRUDES.....LEAKS FLUIDS...SMELLS.....SOMETIMES BEGINS TO SPLIT OPEN....MAGGOTS MAYBE.

Your friend the so called medical student is full of crap.....in fact the body would NOT BE RECOGNIZABLE

Answer 2

Please don't be distressed by the insensitive comments some contributors have made. I was a Crime Scene Investigator and those in the business so to speak do get used to such things and it kinda makes us talk about them from a purely factual point of view. When its someone close to you, you maybe don't want to know the details. Take comfort that as it was a heart attack, its likely to be quick - what happens to the body afterwards is just a matter of biology. Having been to more post mortems than I care to remember from both 'ordinary' deaths and violent crime, I would say the thing to remember is that the body is just an empty vessel - you get the feeling that what made them a person (soul? spirit? I dunno, I'm not religious) is gone by that stage. The body would still have been recognisable, but the rapidity & extent of decomposition would have very much depended on the temperature and humidity of the room.

Answer 3

Assuming room temperature and reasonable
humidity, the body will smell a great deal, there
will be open soars on it where bugs will be
trying to take it apart and you'll see signs of
oozing in some places.

However, the body will still be recognizable.
Smelly, but quite recognizable.

Answer 4

all the loosers have answered already what i was gonna say
you did ask you know ,and then you get upset when people tell you the truth
just exactly what kind of answer are you looking for

what happens is that the body usually gets burried soon after
is that distant and mild enough for you???

Answer 5

Two weeks u start really noticing a difference on the body. They are stiff and smelly, eyes are sinking in. Especially if they are not treated. If they just sit there. Its gross. Why u got a body in ur room?

Answer 6

It's bad. Hot house, terrible stench.

Answer 7

YOU REALLY DO NOT WANT TO KNOW I WAS A GRAVEDIGGER AND I HAVE SMELLED A BODY AFTER 25 YEARS UNDER THE GROUND

Answer 8

I really hope this wont have a lasting effect on you

Answer 9

Answer 10
