I'm just saying that it would make sense if both were poisoned that both would "rot" in a similar fashion.

Nah different poisons would have different effects on the body.

The type of poison they're talking about that locks up his bowels could be particularly toxic to the insides of the victim I would guess.

And the link with Viper's comments to Tyrion is what has me convinced.

Also, I didn't think much of it at the time but GRRM did spend a ton of time talking about how horrible the smell was just to say Tywin was just like anyone else in death. Hell, Tyrion's thought about him not, in the end, shitting gold was all you needed to make that thought stick with the reader. It's probably one of the top 2 or 3 lines from the whole series.

And Viper's overall want to kill not just Clegane but "the man that spoke the words" makes it clear in my mind. Viper was altogether way too much of a badass to only appear in a few chapters and whose shining moment came in a fight in which although his opponent did eventually die, he got has face smashed to pulp.

His lasting legacy will be the insult he ravaged upon Tywin's body and House Lannister.

Just not sure why GRRM is taking so long to reveal it, and how he'll reveal it at this point.
