What happens to us just at Death and after Death?
This is a Timeline of our Death.
Hour 1.
Muscles in the body relax, a state called primary flaccidity.
Eyelids lose their tension,
the pupils dilate, the jaw might fall open,
the skin will sag,
prominent joints and bones become pronounced.
Pallor mortis causes the usually pinkish tone of the Heart becomes pale.
Algor mortis, the decrease in body temperature follows, (Two degrees Celsius in the first hour; One degree each hour thereafter.)
Hours 2 to 6.
Livor mortis. If the body remains undisturbed long , the parts of the body nearest the ground can develop a reddish-purple discoloration.
Rigor mortis, the first muscles affected include the eyelids, jaw and neck.
Over the next several hours, rigor mortis spreads up into the face and down through the chest, abdomen, arms and legs until it reaches the fingers and toes.
Hours 7 to 12.
The knees and elbows will be slightly flexed, and fingers or toes can appear unusually crooked.
After 12 hours.
Rigor mortis dissipates in the reverse order in which it occurred, i.e., from the fingers and toes, through the arms and legs, and then up through the chest to the neck and face.
Eventually, all of the muscles will again relax, reaching a state known as secondary flaccidity.
