rashore Posted March 21, 2017 #1 Share Posted March 21, 2017 Quote One morning, in a hospital in the Czech Republic, a 69-year-old man died of heart disease. An hour later, as nurses were preparing to move his body down to the lab for autopsy, they noticed his skin was unusually warm. After calling the doctor back to make sure the man was really dead (he was), they took his temperature. At 1.5 hours after death, the body was 104 degrees Fahrenheit—about five degrees hotter than it was before he died, even though the hospital room was kept at about 68 degrees. Fearing the body might spontaneously combust, the doctor and nurses took pains to cool it with ice packs, and eventually it got as chilly as one would expect of a corpse. This interesting case-study is published in the American Journal of Forensic Medicine and Pathology, and in fact has nothing to do with spontaneous combustion. http://www.popsci.com/some-corpses-may-mysteriously-heat-up-after-death 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trevor borocz johnson Posted March 28, 2017 #5 Share Posted March 28, 2017 aww right then now it works. I was going to offer up that the guy who died becomes really embarrassed because someone in the room tells a good joke and he's dead and can't laugh.
