THE SMELL OF DEATH - Duchess - 11-14-2012
Have you ever smelled a decomposing body?
I don't normally think about something like this but I saw a couple Mockers mention the smell of decomposition and now I'm curious.

smell like sex time to me.
RE: THE SMELL OF DEATH - JsMom - 11-14-2012
Nope. And never want to experience it.

I smelled a dead rat in the garage once and that was awful. That's it other than my dads open casket which I was close enough to smell death, but not yet decomposition. It was a faintly sweet smell, something I can't even really describe.

I imagine something that the undertakers do inhibits odors otherwise people would be throwing up all over the deceased. What a job.
We had a dead animal under the house once. Horrible smell.

I'm pretty certain you can't post cleavage pics or r lick your bean without a cadaver around.

When I was stationed in Panama we overthrew Noriega. Many poor people were killed in the slums of Panama City and they ended up being buried in a mass grave near one of the US installations. A few weeks later the bodies needed to be exhumed.
Worst smell I've ever experienced. Unbelievable.

I made the mistake of taking a load of stuff to the dump once. I started dry heaving as soon as I opened the car door. I tried to hold my breath while flinging stuff out of my car. I would never go back there again.

There's not another smell remotely like it that I've experienced. Been 15+ years and I can still smell it in my mind.

It burns itself in to ones olfactory memory, and it can't be forgotten.
If you've never experienced it, you're lucky and shouldn't ever want to.

My daughter accidently left a a grocery bag in the trunk with a trip tip in it last month. Now, I retch at the smell of febrez.

Been around a couple aged bodies, definately not something you forget. Worst though was the plane crash at DFW, I was there and helping in the recovery, didn't see the plane actually crash but was there within 2 minutes. Anyway, the smell of JP4 and burned bodies and plastics is horible. I had to quit and leave when we picked up a guy still in the seat, crispie fried, when we picked him up, seat and all his leg came off, leaving a clean white bone sticking out. I put him down and walked away.
Still now and then when I fly I get a whiff of jet fuel and it gives me a chill. I usually just order another drink

I helped steer a guy that was stuck in the dams culvert for 4 months during the winter into the slower water with a stick once. He was almost clear and blue his eyes were huge. he did not really smell but it reminded me of a wet dog. The spring melt made the water faster. He went in quite a ways up in the fall.
That and working building houses next to the crematorium in the 80s. The smell was kinda sweet but really spicy like when you burn hair thats been sprayed with hairspray. They do it different now I think.
I was 16 when I found the floater.

Yes. One time, in florida, at my kids bus stop, we kept smelling this...dead smell. Well, I figured, its florida. A mouse can reek to the heavens for a month. Then, about a week later it turned out there was a homeless camp in the woods next to the bus stop and some homeless guy died. THATS what we were smelling every fucking day! He was less than a foot from where my kids played waiting for the bus. I decided that day I was absolutely done living there. I moved home 6 months later.

Once you smell it you get a respect for people who exhume bodies for a living.
RE: THE SMELL OF DEATH - ramseycat - 11-15-2012
I have never smelled it and I hope I never do.
RE: THE SMELL OF DEATH - DMP - 11-16-2012
My uncle was a cop in our town for over 30 years and said that once he smelled it once, he could detect it even in minute form. He said that by the time he retired, he could open a door to a house and know before walking in that there was a corpse there.
