how much weigh does our physical body lose at the moment of death?

Question

I want anwsers from people that did reasearch and have knowldedge in this. Not some stupid thoughts or opinions.

Answer 1

I think its 21 grams...

Answer 2

Weight is not lost, but some mass is (weight and mass are confused almost every time out of the laboratory), weight being the measurement of the gravitational force you exert, being quite variable in different locations (eg Earth, moon, space), and mass is affected only by the re-location of matter.

What mass do we lose when we die? Whatever may have been in our lungs at the time is usually expelled, at least if it was gaseous, though whether you can call this mass loss from our own bodies is another matter.

Sometimes death can result in the expulsion of urine and/or faeces as the muscles controlling its movement relax permanently, so there is mass loss here.

Apart from that, there is no mass difference. You merely move from a state of cooperative cellular function to a state else of uncooperative cellular function (most of you cells are very much still alive after legal death, they will eventually die of oxygen starvation).

Or you die in some horrific and dramatic way, such as immediate combustion, or dissolution in a corrosive substance. That would result in a significant loss of mass.

Answer 3

Only a couple of pounds tops; when a person dies all their muscles relax, so they defacate and urinate, and that doesn't weigh more than a few pounds.

When the blood is extracted and replaced with preservative, that I don't know.

Why do you ask?

Answer 4

Just the weight of exhalation and excrement. If any one tells you differently they are religiously delusional.

Answer 5

None, nothing goes anywhere except your spirit which weighs nothing!

Answer 6

uh none?
