What happens to a body when they die?

No, unless you're donating your organs, nothing is taken out of the body...Unless you're like, an ancient Egyptian. Yeah, what leaks out is your bile (poo). It really depends on how you die. Your body can puff up (ESPECIALLY if you drown) with fluids and there can be some leakage of that.

go here http://www.embalming.net/ i would put the steps on this, but its kinda gross...but this site goes step to step, from death to casketing.

wow thats disturbing

Um...the body decomposes...and if they want to take out the organs for medical reasons, they do. Otherwise, everything turns to mush in a few years. Then the skin itself decomposes. The fluids that your source(s) was talkin about was the decomposed organs, turning into fluid.

All the normal fluids are drained in the same process that fils up the body with embalming fluid. The organs are usually left intact but for a post mortem they may be removed and are usually put back, but not always.

Sorry lil_pinkmartian, but your "dead" wrong. I worked in a grave yard, so I know more about this than I really want to. They exchange the blood for embalming fluid. That's it. It pickles everything for a while, long enough to have a nice open casket funeral. Then they bury you and you get eaten my worms and beetles, or they cremate you and you end up in an urn on a fireplace mantel and that's that.

when you die you immediately start to decay from the inside. there are bacteria that live inside you even know. since you're alive your immune system can take care of them. once dead, these bacteria eat away at your body. your blood is drained and the refilled with embalming fluid to keep you "fresh" for wakes and open casket burials, that sort of thing? once down under, the bacteria has an open buffett and feasts. the liquid in your body oozes out and fills up the bottom of the casket. as you deterioirate, a white mold grows all over your body encasing your body in a moldy coffin sort of. as long as there is flesh on your body it will continue to decay until there is nothing left. eventually even the mold will go away as oxygen in the casket will be zeroed out.

They take out the blood and put in formaldehyde to keep the body from rotting. Unless a persons religion forbids it, the innards are left, unless they have signed a donor card.

Upon death the body has a naturally reaction that evacuates excess fluids and other matter (poop and pee). During the embalming process the embalmer performs a process by which the remain fluids are drained and then replace with other liquid chemicals the preserve the corps. As for organs, I am not sure, I think the remain with the body. They may be removed for analysis during an autopsy, but I believed they are returned.
