[QUOTE="Ayasano, post: 92498, member: 4804"] There was an experiment in 1907 involving this, but between a very small sample size, (Only 4 out of 6 were not able to be written off due to complications like patients dying too early) extremely variable results, (A small loss, a large loss, and a loss immediately and then again after several minutes) and failing to account for certain factors, (see below) the experiment proved inconclusive. He also did the experiment with dogs, and there was no loss at all. The 2003 film "21 grams" popularized the belief, but to date there hasn't been any other such experiment. (Hard to find volunteers and funding :D ) The experiment also didn't account for things like sudden temperature rise when the heart stops and the blood is no longer air-cooled by the lungs resulting in sweat, or release of gases from the body at the time of death. (When you die, all your muscles go slack, including the sphincter. :sick: ) The temperature theory would be consistent with the dog experiment too, since dogs don't sweat to lose heat, they pant instead, thus no evaporating sweat to lose mass. That result could also be explained by the fairly inaccurate scale used, only accurate to 2/10 of an ounce. I would imagine dogs, having less body mass, would have a proportionally smaller drop in weight at the time of death.
