*microorganisms that live in the body go to work to dissolve the internal organs. They produce gas, which bloats the body before it eventually escapes. The face darkens and liquids escape the nose and mouth. The tongue swells and the abdomen begins to turn a greenish-yellow color. Eventually the skin blisters and fills with fluid or gas. If the weather is warm and humid, putrefaction may set in within a day, but when left in a very cold area or storage space, may be retarded for several months*
