Can corpses twitch, please answer with an explanation in detail?
Most dead people just lie quietly. On rare occasions, one will have some movement after death. A human corpse can twitch vigorously for several minutes, even more than an hour, after death. It can also have occasional small or violent twitches or jerks for several hours after death. It is highly unusual. Very rarely a corpse will have a violent action as much as two days after death. These are some of the rare voluntary muscle contractions after death. Even after death certain nervous impulses continue. Bowels empty. Bladder empties. GI tract peristalsis continues (sometimes you can hear a dead man’s tummy rumble). Those are all involuntary muscle contractions.
