Cómo se DESCOMPONE un CUERPO después de la MUERTE

The Process of Human Decomposition

Initial Stages of Decomposition

• The decomposition process begins immediately after death, with funeral homes using chemicals to delay natural decay for up to three days.

• After burial, the effectiveness of these chemicals diminishes, leading to an acceleration in decomposition starting around day four or five post-mortem.

Biological Changes During Decomposition

• Gas accumulation occurs in the thoracic cavity due to bacterial activity; as the body can no longer fight off these bacteria, they start dissolving tissues.

• Within a few days, the body becomes unrecognizable as facial features are destroyed by bacteria and larvae that develop based on environmental conditions.

Duration and Final Stages of Decomposition

• The entire decomposition process can last from months to years, ultimately reducing tissues to dust and leaving only bones behind.
