About this document
Stages of Cadaver Decomposition Process by Marta Flores is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The document summarizes the early post-mortem changes that occur after death and the stages of decomposition in exposed cadavers. It describes the processes of livor mortis, rigor mortis, and algor mortis that occur within the first few hours after death. It then outlines the five stages of decomposition as fresh, bloated, decay, post-decay, and skeletal. Each stage is characterized by physical changes to the body and the arthropod assemblages associated with it.
