The Body Farm - Study of Human Decomposition

Video about the Body Farm where the study of human decomposition is carried out on real corpses. Goes well with the Caylee / Casey Anthony case videos as tests were conducted by Body Farm personal. Note that the researcher in the video mentions that you never forget the smell.

When I die I'm going to donate my body to be used on the set of Midsomer Murders. They don't have to give it back, and maybe I can make a reappearance in the season finale.

@376662 It's true. A body rots faster in Arizona than does a body in Alaska. Way faster.

The smell has to be the worse part. I can understand getting use to seeing dead people, and recording info on decay, but that smell has to be the worse. And in humid East Tennessee? Man...

They tell by darker skin how. Long they have been out? What if person is black?

SIR,,You would have to study that all over to be acurate,say ,what about a body in alaska,vs.arizona,the fly egg culture would be way differant,,something to think about,,everything reacts diff,in diff temps wouldnt ya say so,,,? Just wondering,I DO THINK IM RIGHT,,,

One question... if there are so many rotten bodies everywhere and there are obviously so many flies all the time, is this accurate? Considering that there may be more flies here than in other places and maybe they will eat the bodies sooner than in a normal situation...
