What is the time period of the decay of human dead body??
The duration for the complete decomposition of the dead human body depends on the climatic conditions like temperature, humidity, degree of exposure to the weather etc If the body is buried deep and in a coffin, it mat take several months to decay , if the soil is dry If the body is buried in damp soil, it will decompose much earlier because of profound bacterial activity If the body lies exposed to the weather, it will be completely decomposed in a couple of weeks due to the combined activity of maggots and bacteria Answered by thampy chacko, 20 Apr ’09 05:36 pm
