86 | CLINICAL | After The Last Heartbeat: The Physiology of Death

What actually happens to the human body after the heart stops?

For this spooky-season episode of Life & Sirens, Jaime takes us beyond the moment of death and into the strange, fascinating, and very real physiology that follows. We’re talking algor mortis, livor mortis, rigor mortis, cellular death, autolysis, decomposition, agonal respirations, and even the documented phenomenon of spontaneous circulation returning after CPR has been terminated.

And no—the body is not the perfectly predictable clock that crime shows make it seem like.
