If bodies are kept in coffins that are sealed tight enough, such as the in wall type of memorial, sometimes enough gases can build up that the body basically explodes and can spill out onto the ground.

If you electrocute someone while they are submerged in water, it won’t leave burn marks.

In Formula 1, safety belts were not mandatory until 1972. Before then, drivers believed it better to be ejected in a crash, and either die instantly from a broken neck or suffer many broken bones. The alternative, they thought, was to be trapped and essentially cremated alive should the gas tanks ignite.

A body can swell to three times its normal size especially if the person passes away in a bathtub.

Before you die, your last words could be, “I don’t feel so good.” A paramedic for 15 years heard dozens of people’s final words. The phrase they heard most often, possibly from half to three quarters of them, were some form of “I don’t feel so good.” They’ve also heard, “Wait, somethings wrong.” “Somethings happening.” “I don’t feel right.” “Wait, somethings wrong.” “It’s happening.” “Oh no, Oh no.”

When drilling into teeth, the smell that occurs also smells like Fritos. The same thing for sawing through bone during an amputation.

Judith Barsi was the young actress who voiced Anne-Marie in All Dogs Go to Heaven and Ducky in The Land Before Time. She was murdered at the age of 10 by her abusive father, who also killed her mother at the same time.

It is way easier than you would expect to break someone ribs during CPR and it feels really weird.

There’s something called “Anaesthesia Awareness” where of certain people go into surgery and they don’t give you enough Anaesthesia, it will look like you’re asleep (eyes closed, not talking or moving), but the patient can still hear and feel everything that’s happening, but here’s the scary part. You’re unable to move, speak or open your eyes. Unless they have a monitor to show your brain activity, you’re stuck with having to endure the pain.

You can tell someone is dead dead by trying to move their jaw. It’s one of the first body parts to show signs of rigidity.

A deer will lay on decaying corpses because they produce heat and the deer like that. Basically deer treat corpses as their personal sauna.

There is a parasite called Dracun culiasis, or more commonly “Guinea worm” that can enter your leg through drinking infected water. You won’t notice anything until ~1 year later, when a small portion breaks the skin to release larvae. At this point, it’s a meter long.

An adult human body impacting on concrete does not sound organic or ‘wet’ at all, it reminded me more of a car accident than anything else.

Morbidly obese people need to be cremated at a lower temperature so the fat doesn’t quickly liquify and start pouring out of the people oven.

There’s been multiple cases of people actually ending up being eaten by an escalator.

After the Pulse night club shooting, when the cops were investigating, you’d think it was pretty quiet in there. It was actually a cacophony of ringing cell phones. So many friends and loved ones calling people they knew were there, hoping they’ll answer the phone and say they’re ok…

On Mt. Everest, you have the rainbow valley, the last zone to climb to reach the peak. Which sounds cute but it’s really the colorful jackets of dead climbers who are frozen in time against the white harsh snow. Also, when close to the peak, the oxygen levels are so low that the body is starting to die. You only have a few minutes to reach the top.

The astronauts of space shuttle Challenger didn’t die until the spacecraft hit the ocean. They fell through the air for almost 3 minutes.
