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.

Bones are living tissue because bone cells continue to grow and regenrate throughout your life until you die. Every 3 years after you reach the age of 18 your bones completely regenerate until death.  As you are growing and especially around the stage of puberty, bones can regereate and generate new bone tissue in as little as 8 months. Bones are also the source of bone marrow. Red bone marrow is responsible for the production of red blood cells. White blood cells are produced by the lymphatic system.  \n\nHope this helps you some. feel free to ask anything else. \n\nTrisha Linton\nWichita Falls, Tx

As soon as death occurs, decomposition starts.  They float because of the build up of gasses in the lungs and digestive tract.

A typical adult human skeleton consists of 206 bones, though a small portion of the human population have an extra bone, occurring in the form of an extra rib. But a baby is born with approximately 270. The difference comes from a number of small bones that fuse together during growth. They leave pockets of cartilage to allow more growth.

The fossilization process begins at the time of an organism's death. Rapid burial under sediments is key for the fossilization process to begin. This prevents decomp from bacteria & protects the carcass from scavengers.\n\nAfter the intial process, it will take thousands of years for a fossil to form. Fossils occur in sedimentary environments. This usually involves lots of water & the deposition of sediments over lengthy amounts of time.\n\nLayer after layer is deposited until the pressure squeezes the water out & lithifies the rock.\n\nSome replacement of bones & teeth may take place. In this process, minerals replace other minerals in the hard parts of an organism.\n\nHard parts are usually the only thing to survive the fossilization process. Soft parts decompose too easily.

The human skeleton is made of individual or joined bones (such as the skull), supported and supplemented by a structure of ligaments, tendons, muscles, cartilage and other organs.\n\nThe skeleton is not unchanging; it changes composition over a lifespan. Early in gestation, a fetus has no hard skeleton; bones form gradually during nine months in the womb. At birth, all bones will have formed, but a newborn baby has more bones than an adult. On average, an adult human has 206 bones (according to Gray's Anatomy, but the number can vary slightly from individual to individual), but a baby is born with approximately 300 bones. The difference comes from a number of small bones that fuse together during growth, such as the sacrum and coccyx of the vertebral column. An infant is born with pockets of cartilage between particular bones to allow further growth. The sacrum (the bone at the base of the spine) consists of five bones which are separated at birth but fuse together into a solid structure in later years. Growing is usually completed between ages 13 and 18, at which point the bones have no pockets of cartilage left to allow more growth.\n\nNot all bones are interconnected directly. There are 6 bones, the auditory ossicles (three on each side), in the middle ear that articulate only with each other. Another bone, the hyoid bone in the neck, does not touch any other bones in the body, and is supported by muscles and ligaments; it serves as the point of attachment for the tongue.Also some of the ribs called the floating ribs only hang by muscle and are not attached to the spine.\n\nThe longest and heaviest bone in the body is the femur and the smallest is the stapes bone in the middle ear. In an adult, the skeleton comprises around 20% of the total body weight.\n\nBones of the Head\n\n    * frontal bone\n    * mandible\n    * maxilla\n    * occiptal bone\n    * parietal bone\n    * temporal bone\n    * zygomatic bone \n\nBones of the Neck and Chest\n\n    * acromion\n    * atlas\n    * cervical vertebra\n    * clavicle\n    * false rib\n    * floating rib\n    * scapula\n    * spine of scapula\n    * sternum\n    * thoracic vertebra\n    * vertibral column \n\nBones of the Abdomen\n\n    * coccyx\n    * ilium\n    * ischium\n    * lumbar vertebra\n    * sacrum\n    * vertibral column \n\nBones of the Arm\n\n    * carpus (carpals)\n    * epicondyle\n    * epitrochlea\n    * head of humerus\n    * humerus\n    * metacarpus (metacarpals)\n    * olecranon\n    * phalanx (phalanges)\n    * radius\n    * ulna \n\nBones of the Leg\n\n    * calcaneus\n    * condyle of femur\n    * femur\n    * fibula\n    * head of femur\n    * metatarsus (metatarsals)\n    * neck of femur\n    * patella\n    * phalanx (phalanges)\n    * talus\n    * tarsus (tarsals)\n    * tibia

the flesh will be decayed \ninitially with aerobic bacteria\nafter oxygen become depleted\nanaerobic bacteria take over\ndegradation is less efficient in lacking of oxygen\nand I think the number of surviving bacteria will also be less than that in sufficient of air\nthe bones should be hard to be degraded in this situation

Not 100% sure on this at the moment but it used to be up to 7 years, however following the Boxing Day Tsunami  in 2004 the Governement made some changes to the law allowing people to be declared dead after a year.\n\nThe GRO (General Registry Office) deals with the issuing of Death Certificates and has some details here:\nhttp://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/deaths/registeringadeath/coronerinvolved.asp\n\nNothing about the 1800's though. There was obviously a process as many people trace anscestors using death certificates. Maybe the National Archives will have some details:\nhttp://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/

We have 206 bones in the adult human body.

Well, we know when a person dies, their physical body is left behind for burial or cremation... and we have found bodies of mummies thousands of years old, proving them wrong, so no...physical bodies, it seems very unlikely.  Are you really asking if we carry on the same likeness?  Maybe we do...I tend to think so...if indeed there is anything else...I confess no knowledge either way.  It would be comforting to think we will recognize each other because we will "appear" reminiscent of ourselves here in life, but have you ever considered we might just be something else completely?  Not saying it's true...just playing "Devil's Advocate".

There are 206 bones in the body of a typical adult. However, babies have something like 315 when they're born, as the cartilege hasn't grown into its final shape yet.

Since a humans are rather new to Earth (being as our ancestors have only been around for a million years +, we can use carbon dating. After death, carbon stops accumulating in our bodies. Carbon 14 decays at a rate of half every 5730 years. So if there is only 25% of Carbon left from the suspected original amount then 11460 years have gone by. If it is significantly old, other elements are used liuke Uranium etc...

The adult human body has 206 bones, and a baby has about 300 bones when born.

the answer is 6-10 minutes if u are healthy, the question was how long u can LIVE not stay conscious. therefore the body organs and cells can last from 6-10 minutes.furthermore 4-6 minutes without minutes without breathing the cells begin to deteriorate, then 6-10 minutes without breathing the cells begin to die. u can only be resucitated after 10 minutes ONLY if your core temperature is well below normal hypothermic.

it depend on the condition of the corpse.\n\nIf you just leave it there, less than 2 months.\n\nSome mummies may stay up to 2000 years.
