What Happens When You Die: Four Stages of Decomposition
Have you ever wondered what happens the moment you die? Not where you go in the afterlife or how your body will be handled, but have you ever wondered what happens internally? Around four minutes after your heart fails to pump oxygen to the rest of your body, it begins to self destruct. This method of self destruction is universal in its stages and in its purpose; it has no bias of character or of monetary status. Without this process of death and decay, life would cease to exist.
Stage One: Autolysis (Self-Ingestion)
Autolysis begins the moment your circulatory system and respiratory system cease to pump blood to your muscles. Without oxygen being pumped into your cells, excess carbon dioxide begins to cause cell membranes to become acidic. Once these cells rupture, they release a digestive enzyme that begins to consume your cells from the inside out.
Rigor Mortis begins generally within an hour or two after death and lasts for around 24 hours. Rigor Mortis occurs when lactic acid buildup in the muscles causes them to stiffen at unnatural angles, a lot of times defying gravity. Small blisters filled with nutrient-rich fluid form on internal organs and under the surface of the skin. When these rupture, it causes the body to form a shiny or sweaty appearance. The body begins to cool at the time of death and slowly drops an average of 1.5 degrees an hour, pending on environmental factors. Within 24 hours, the body will be the same temperature as its surrounding environment.
Fact: In cases of violent or traumatic deaths, lactic acid is built up in such high amounts in the muscles that rigor mortis can occur at the exact moment of death. For example, if someone dies from drowning in a lake, they may still be clutching a chunk of grass from trying to grab onto the bank at the moment of their death.
Livor Mortis causes areas of the body exposed to external pressure such as gravity to turn a reddish-purple color. Tardieu spots form in these areas as well due to increased pressure. These spots often resemble traumatic hemorrhaging but are a normal part of the decomposition process.
Fact: If a body is moved after death and the livor mortis is on the wrong area of the body, investigators can determine that the body was moved after death. For example, if someone died laying on their stomach, livor mortis would turn the abdomen the reddish-purple color. If someone moved the body after death and flipped them onto their back, it would show that the blood pooled in a way that would defy gravity, showing that the body was moved unnaturally.
At this point, purge fluid is often leaked through the nasal cavity from internal gases building up in the abdomen. Despite this resembling a traumatic death, it is a natural step in human decomposition. Depending on the amount of stomach contents that are left in the body, it generally takes half an hour up to six hours for the body to finish digesting and eliminating the waste from the body.
After about 24 to 26 hours the abdomen begins to turn a greenish color that generally begins in the lower quadrant of the abdomen near the pubic area. Right around this time, bloating begins to take form within the abdominal cavity due to bacterial gas build up that causes the body to bloat and change form almost to the point of the corpse’s race being undistinguishable.
In step three, or active decay, the skin begins to slip from the body in a process known as “degloving.” Degloving happens when the top layer of skin pulls away from the muscle and essentially falls off. When bodies are at this stage of decomposition and the skin makes it impossible to pull fingerprints, morticians will often slip the skin of the patient over their own fingers and extract DNA prints this way. As the body is going through active decay, internal organs and external tissues begin to liquefy and seep through open orifices on the body. Dawnie Wolfe Steadman, director of the Forensic Anthropology Center at University of Tennessee Knoxville, claims that the main cause for the large amount of tissue loss during active decay is because of fly maggots that feast on bacteria and tissues.
Did you know that a body decomposing in water decomposes at a much slower rate than a body that is exposed to air? The slowest rate of decomposition is a body that has been preserved with formaldehyde and buried in the ground, similar to American funeral customs. A body that is submerged in water while going through active decay will have a wax-like appearance that replaces the normal look of external tissues. However, the tissues of a body that decomposes in a warm and humid environment will have external tissues that have completely dried out; the body will essentially mummify itself. In cases where a person dies in a traumatic way and is mummified from external factors, any wounds they received before and after death will be preserved, though distorted in size and shape.
After soft tissues are consumed by maggots, the corpse is partially skeletonized but the tougher soft tissues like cartilage still remain. Once beetles consume the cartilage, ligaments, and tendons the final stage of decomposition begins.
Skeletal decay is the process of the surrounding environment breaking down the remainder of the body for fertilization for future plants and life. Bones generally disintegrate with time if they are subjected to a constant flow of water, gnawed on by scavengers or any other external forces that have the ability to erode them.
Did you know that the “decomposition smell” you smell when coming across an animal carcass is actually caused by a mix of gases called putrescine and cadaverine that is caused when amino acids within the body begin to break down? Although seemingly harmless, if you are in a closed environment with a corpse, these gases have the ability to compete with or displace the oxygen within your body.
A University of Kent psychologist and Arkansas Tech University behavioral scientist hypothesize that the chemical putrescine creates a fight or flight response in humans due to it signaling in the brain as an olfactory threat. In the journal ‘Frontiers of Psychology,’ four different tests were published that proved exposure to putrescine elicited cognitive reactions, similar to escaping threats.
In the first trial done in this series of studies, 60 people were given the task to open a jar and sniff the contents inside. The control group smelled ammonia, a similarly pungent smell to putrescine and the rest of the test subjects were given putrescine. Afterward, the test subjects that were given the task of smelling putrescine reacted quicker to a red dot randomly presented on a screen in the lab; this indicates that the smell made these subjects more vigilant to their surroundings.
Two of these four tests were completed on a university campus when random people were stopped and asked to participate in a smell test. In the subjects that smelled putrescine, they walked away significantly faster than those that smelled ammonia or water. This experiment was timed with a hidden stopwatch.
In the fourth and final experiment, 65 people were asked to fill out a questionnaire that was slightly scented with either putrescine, water, or ammonia; the smell was faint enough that the subjects were unaware of the scent. The subjects were given an essay that was written by someone who didn’t share their views; in this particular case, the essay was written by a Middle-Eastern exchange student in the UK who criticized Western values and predicted their decline. They were then asked to fill out the questionnaire asking how likable the essay’s author was and whether or not his ideas should be publicized. The subjects that had papers scented with putrescine were significantly more hostile towards the foreign student than those with the ammonia soaked questionnaire. This suggests that subconsciously, the scent of putrescine elicited a subsconscious defensive response.
The scientists that ran this experiment hypothesize that the chemical compound in putrescine could serve as a warning signal in the brain that is the forefront of protective responses that help us protect ourselves from potential threats.

Gente un comentario visto por Internet, me hizo reflexionar sobre la próxima película a estrenarse sobre Ted Bundy. Si hay algo que nunca le ha gustado a los criminólogos, es la idolatría de las personas a los criminales, aunque claro ellos también entienden porque sucede este fenómeno, pero es algo que simplemente no está bien. En un principio el anuncio de la película me emocionó, porque esperaba una película biográfica con buenos actores, pero viendo nuevamente el trailer siento que tiene un tono más sensacionalista, irreal, exagerado y que puede caer en esta "idolatría" en especial por el actor que interpreta a Ted Bundy. Personalmente ahora me da miedo que la gente tenga una imagen errada de lo que fue el caso, el dolor que causó y lo dañino que fue y que se vaya con una imagen de Hannibal Lecter que es completamente alejada de lo real. Gente los asesinos seriales nos causa fascinación porque son individuos que se salen del esquema social, son monstruos reales, pero no se les olvide que son gente enferma. Es posible que me equivoque y la película sea otra cosa pero por lo que intuyó no va por ese lado, habrá que esperar. Si quieren una imagen más real del caso, recomiendo mucho la serie documental que sacó Netflix, no sale Zac Efron sin camisa y es cruda pero es real.
Hace tiempo vi un documental llamado “Bowling for Columbine” de Miachel Moore que trata el tema del problemas de las armas en Estados Unidos, en el documental se tocaba un caso de un niño pequeño que llevo a su escuela una pistola y mato accidentalmente a una de sus compañeras. Los medios cubrieron el caso de forma muy mediática haciendo especial énfasis en el incidente y finalmente la madre pago las consecuencias. Moore cerraba el caso diciendo que si los medios se hubieran preocupado por grabar el barrio en donde vivía este chico, uno de los más pobres, donde esta madre soltera tenía que dejar a su hijo con un tío solo, pues ella debía atender 2 trabajos para mantener a su familia y la facilidad que tuvo el tío de comprar un arma y dejarla al alcance del niño, se hubiera explicado porque paso tan lamentable incidente; pero los medios no buscan explicar, buscan vender.
Es raro que empiece abriendo una opinión con un caso extranjero, pero este puede ser aplicable a cualquier país, finalmente habla de 2 temas importantes, los medios de comunicación y el alcance que abarca la criminología. Creo que sería un error limitar la criminología solo a los juzgados, a los centros penitenciarios o a los cuerpos policíacos; ya que un criminólogo como ciencia humanista estudia el crimen para prevenirlo, y el crimen siempre va a estar sujeto a las leyes de un estado, a velar por un sistema que hagan la sana convivencia de los seres humanos que viven en este (el contrato social); siendo este el papel del criminólogo, este debería ser de mayor importancia en un país tan azotado por la violencia como lo es el actual estado mexicano.
Retomando entonces el caso que expone Moore, podemos aplicarlo a dos contextos recientes en nuestro país como el cazo del linchamiento en puebla o la caravana migrante, en los cuales los medios digitales fueron de gran importancia para la propagación de información y distorsión de esta; actualmente las personas toman como medios informativos y de noticias el tiempo que tardan en leer un meme o un mensaje de whatsapp, lo cual es peligroso pues esto contribuye al esparcimiento de mentiras y manipulación de masas, las personas no buscan entender o explicar los fenómenos que llevan a un hecho, solo se quedan con el mensaje burdamente resumido. Estos 2 casos tienen en común varios puntos, primero las personas se han dejado llevar por la opinión de la mayoría, segundo la propagación del odio y al menos uno de estos termino en la muerte de 2 personas; realmente si ponemos analizarlo el problema de los linchamientos y de la xenofobia no son recientes, pero el papel importante que han jugado las redes sociales si, y este es un campo nuevo de estudio.
La criminología a diferencia de los medios si busca explicar y entender para proponer y resolver, ahora con el mundo moderno y las nuevas tecnologías los criminólogos se enfrentan a plantear nuevas estrategias, para solucionar los temas de siempre pero llevados a una plataforma completamente nueva. Recordando las palabras de un conferencista, un criminólogo no se hace criminólogo con un título, sino cuando aplica su conocimiento en beneficio de la sociedad y el estado, ya sea en prevención, para hacer leyes más justas etc. Todo con el fin de que el contrato social siga funcionando.
