Kinda OT..
..but I REALLY want to see what an exhumed body looks like. I can NOT for the life of me find pictures anywhere. I'm talkin... if someone was buried in 1990 and you dug them up today what they'd look like. Does anyone know where I can find pictures such as this? Not only am I incredibly curious about this, but I'd also like to get an idea for a realistic zombie costume for this year's halloween.

Warning!
If you have a weak stomach, do not visit this link. There are pictures of dead people in various states of decay. I'm not kidding. Stay the ehck out you need to see dead people. http://periciales.pgjebc.gob.mx/semefo.htm Click "Entrar", then choose a town.

very interesting links and good pictures on all of them. Links showing corpses in varying conditions of decay are always something I will click on.

There's a place called the Body Farm, and CNN did a report on them:

I saw an episode of CSI where someone dumped a body at a forensics body farm hoping it'd just blend in with the other bodies nearby.. didn't work... Great episode.
Very interesting stuff in those links...

I have wittnessed exsumed bodies that had been buried for 10 and 20 years.
A good quality casket (Batesville) kept out the moisture and insects. The body looked as if it had just been buried. A poor quality casket, showed massive amounts of decay. Mositure is the enemy and allows insects and fungus to grow and eat away the body tissues. Obviously, an unprotected body (in the elements) will be invaded by anything. Flies, animals and of course our own natural PH chemical reactions ( which by embalming, stops this process). Our bodies are "programmed" to decay naturally. An enzyme is produced the minute our body stops receiving O2. This causes the protien to begin to solidify. An after effect of this protien gas is rigormortis and odor. Even after we die, our bodies still continue to function by default. I think that is amazing.

Speaking of the body farm, it is a really cool place. Only a few miles from my house, too. (I was actually going to post about it, but got beat to it.)
A teacher at my highschool actually took a field trip there. Of course, you had to have parent's permission and such. While we were there, I remember specifically a body in a tree, and a few just lying around among others. I have to say, it was the strangest field trip ever.
