Is it true you poop when you die ?

It is true, I am a nurses Aide and most times when a patient dies, all the muscles relax and body fluids are released. But not always.

I assume you meant feces. That depends on the source of course. But if you've been noticing it, you should make an appointment to see your physician, soon.

Your heart stops beating. Your synapses slow their firing until you are brain dead and no electrical current is flowing through the nervous system. Your body will generally expel any waste matter (air, urine, feces) being held. Sometime around this time, you will either discover that there is an afterlife of some sort, or you will blink into nothingness, with absolutely no consciousness to be aware of the fact that there is no afterlife. The body will begin the approach to rigor mortise. And bacteria will begin decomposing the body. Years and years later, only ash (and perhaps fossilized bones) will be left of your body. If there is an afterlife, you will never be able to tell anyone. If there isn't, you will never be able to tell anyone. Those who say they know the truth about the afterlife, either way, are not intellectually honest. Which is why this question will continue to evoke philosophical debate ad infinitum.

I heard, (but I have never witnessed this before), that you will get constipated and the poop can back up the digestive tract and you will vomit poop. Gross... \n\nNow this I have seen before, sometimes if the poop is super hard and cannot be passed the normal way, it has to be surgically removed. Why? Because the hard poop or even intense rectal stimulation can stimulate a vagal receptor in the bowel that can make you pass out and cause your heart rate to drop to a dangerously low level. \n\nI know, more information than you wanted.

They did a study on this at the moment of death That the body loses exactly 3 ounces  every body Man women or child no matter the weight of the person.\nThis was before the finally voiding and evacuation of the bowels and stomach fluid. \nWe have tested this theory in the hospital and have come to believe that it is the spirit leaving the body at the time of death.

Okay you asked for it. You know when you sit on the toilet to poo? well do that but in your pants. When you feel a mushy senstation and smell what you ate yesterday you know that you have succesfully pooped yourself.

Yes, as evryone above has pointed out, but they will also come from the body.  When someone/something dies, there are various bugs that lay eggs on the freshly-departed body very soon after death.  So these may hatch on the body after it's in the coffin after it is sealed.  The field of Forensic Entomolgy uses this phenomenom to fairly accurately calculate time of death of discovered corpses.\n\nTry not to be too squeamish or concerned about it, though.  We're just meat after we pass...\n\n("Stiff" is a wonderful book by Mary Roach about what happens when we die.)

Are you seriously expecting that there are people here in Yahoo Answers (or here on Planet Earth for that matter) who KNOW what happens after death? No one knows what happens after you die. People who pretend to know are either charlatans or fools.

=you go to heaven and are once again reunited with family, friends, and pets that died before you.  Up there is also a pile of stuff that you have lost thru the years like socks and remote controls, loose change etc.  You will be in perfect health with no ailments, can eat or drink as much as you want and not gain weight.  Doesn't that sound like heaven to you?

If you eat enough fiber your poop floats. To prove this, wait till you have a sinker,then eat a good size bowl of rasin brand for a day or two for breakfast,(or whenever)then go poop...you will have a floater!

not for an extended period of time. Poop has had all of the nutrients already filtered out and used by the body, it is just the waste product left over and has minimal nutritional value. It could possibly be recycled once or twice for the left over kernels that did not get digested the first time through.
