Is That a Real Thing?

When you die, the organs and stuff don't really work when you die because there's nothing functioning in the body. Mortician: I'd never come across a case where somebody was brought into our care that wasn't dead. On occasion, when somebody dies, especially in the first couple of hours of death, the body relaxes, the muscles relax, and they burp and they fart. "I think I would be freaked out more by the burp than anything else," he says.
