This is somehow tragic, beautiful, and gross all at the same time. Great Showerthought.

This isn't necessarily true... don't people lose control of their bowels when they die? I'm pretty sure all that comes out of you at some point after death.

It's probably the most common scenario though. Consider that most bodies are embalmed and so their orifices are sealed shut with abundance of tampons/plugs and although there can be leaks , they will stay with the body and never see the light of day

Thank you, it certainly feels all these things.

When you die your muscles relax. You lose whatever you've been holding, so yes, your bowels empty when you die. If you're constipated at the time you probably retain some though.

My son pooped immediately after he passed. I cleaned him up before he went down to the morgue. You're not just wrong, you're stupid.
My former roommate is also now a mortician. She also says you're stupid.

Absolutely true. Sphincters relax and out it comes.

But inaccurate. See top post.

Fun fact... you lose control of your bowels when you die, so that last turd likely will make its way out. Now you know.

This is also why it makes zero difference if you’re wearing clean underwear when you die.

I know that my cat started peeing after he died.. Dead body, all muscles relax, his last pee was released...

I’m a hospice nurse, and do postmortem cares about once each week for the last five years. In my experience bm is present about 50% of the time.
