I didn't see the one you specifically mention, but here are 15 facts I found on www.mercola.com/2006/dec/9/19-facts-about-death-you-may-not-want-to-know/htm and http://nihilist.8m.com/custom2.html:
1. After being decapitated (head cut off), the average person remains conscious for another 15-20 seconds.
2. It takes 2.5 minutes to fall from the top of Mt. Everest to the bottom.
3. About 2500 left-handed people die each year from using products made for right-handed people.
4. About 100 people die each year from choking on ballpoint pens.
5. When you die, your sight is the first to go, and your hearing is last.
6. The electric chair was invented by a dentist.
7. Albert Einstein's last words died with him. The nurse at his side didn't understand German.
8.Many sailors, at one time, wore gold earrings so they could afford a proper burial when they died.
9. Anglo-Saxons believed Friday to be the unluckiest day of all, and slaughtered any and all babies born on a Friday.
10. Hindus prefer to die by a river than to die in bed. (FYI: the Ganges River in India is considered as holy ground)
11.Mark Twain, born in a year when Halley's Comet visited us, correctly predicted he'd die the next time it appeared.
12.Hair and nails do not grow after death. Our skin shrinks, making it look like this occurs.
13. Bones and chunks left over from cremations are ground up and these are the "ashes" you get back.
14. King Henry VIII killed 72,000 people. His favorite method was BOILING them to death.
15. Elephants can die of a broken heart when their mate dies. They refuse to eat, and will lie down--shedding tears--until they starve to death. They will refuse all human attempts to help them.

Yes, you do. When death occurs if there is any fecal material in the lower (descending or sigmoid) colon it can be expelled by the relaxing of the intestinal muscles and the sphincter. In many cases however, this may not occur until after rigor mortis has passed. Usually by this point the body is in the care of either the coroner or a funeral home. Also there is the "death rattle" - the natural escaping of the residual air in the lungs when they relax and further deflate, sometimes occurring hours after death, and even the occassional muscle spasm which can cause a corpse to sit bolt upright on the morgue table or even in the casket. Most funeral homes anticipate this if possible, and use a chest harness attached to the inside bottom of the casket in order to keep the corpse from sitting up during viewing hours.

My sister in law is a nurse. At one time she worked at a retirement home. You know the type of place where death visits more than family. She said whenever any of the residents died the first thing the nurses would do is pack their butts with gauze because when death occurs the muscles begin to relax and it could result in a big mess. I hope I don't end up in one of those places.

First off, you can't poop when you die because an embalmer sucks all the liquids out of your body. They stick an instrument up your anus to suck out your crap. They do the same to get the food out of your stomach, except it goes down your throat. Blood and urine are other parts of embalming...
