In my experience dead bodies smell like a mixture of un-sweetened chocolate and metal.

Pumpy Muffinz posted:You have no experience with dead bodies. What would you describe it as? THen again you're kind of right. I've never been around a freshly dead body but I have been around their leavings for a lack of a better word. The oils, fat, slush, feces that they leave behind. So it is possible I missed out on the good stuff when it comes to smells.

Shithouse Dave posted:Do dead people smell like that sweet-but-fermenty smell that a rotting woodland creature in the forest does? "Sweet-but-fermenty" is actually a much more accurate way than I put it. First time I smelled it though all I could think of was un-sweetened chocolate for some reason. I have a friend who compares it to rotting peaches. Pumpy Muffinz posted:So your an undertaker? I used to work at a cemetary. Mainly cutting grass but we'd occasionally do an exhumation. But I never really smelled anything there. I did however work for about a year with a Bio-Hazard clean up company and while we mainly did horder houses there was a lot of sucides and unattended deaths which is where I picked up on the smell. FrumpleOrz posted:It had to have smelled really bad, right? Like unimaginably bad living in the same small area. I remember when someone died in the apartment building I was living in and it was on the other side of the building but I could still smell that awful odor for a while before I found out it was a dead guy. I can't imagine being in the same living space with that smell for even a little while. Eh, I find it's more mental than anything else. It doesn't quite smell horrible but when you know it's a dead body your brain goes into over load. I once went into an unattended death in an apartment. We have re-breathers on but we'd do a "sniff" test where we take them off take a wiff and see how bad it had seeped in. It was one of the cleaner jobs we had to clean but one of the maintence guys of the apartment took a step in, ran out and started puking.
