Beyond the amazing number of microbes that already call your body home (more of their cells than your own at any given time), other bacteria and varying fungi and fauna colonize the body with great rapidity after death. As the body becomes biome, flesh undergoes a dreadful pantomime of balloon animal elasticity – swelling, bloating, and distorting. This danse macabre is quite likely not what one has in mind when one hears of life after death. However, these commonplace morbidities of life in death pale in comparison to one of the more unusual, and completely tragic, graveyard phenomena – postmortem fetal extrusion (a.k.a coffin birth – where the dead mother gives birth after the fact to an equally dead baby).
