RUMOR: A DEAD MANS HANDS DO NOT SWELL POST MORTEM FACT: YES, THE DO, SCIENCE BABY! A few days after death the body will start to break down. The bacteria that is still alive in the body and enzymes start to digest cells. As these bacteria continue to digest, they start to release gases and these gases cause the body to bloat. This is what causes dead bodies to stink as well. A color change is associated with this process of autolysis of the cells of the body. It goes from a yellowish - green to purple and then to black.
