    Well, its kind of gross, but unless the body is preserved, all parts of it will start to rot, or as we say in science degrade. Eventually the muscle, skin, nerves and brain tissue will rot away and disappear until the bones are left. And over time, even these will break up and disappear.

    It takes a while for all of the cells to really die, but yeah then we get really stinky.
