What does a dead body weigh?In: Human Anatomy |

[Edit]
Answer
That depends on a lot of things including how much the person weighed when they were alive (which will probably be very close to the same as dead weight if the body is freshly dead), and the state of decomposition. ... obviously a dry skeleton would weigh less than a fully fleshed body. It also depends on the manner of death, because the manner of death could affect body mass.
