What Does a Dead Body Smell Like?

If you've ever smelled a dead human body before, how does it compare to these descriptions?
20 People Describe the Smell of a Dead Body
quote:
“Buy a Boston Butt pork roast and let it rot. Pigs and humans are apparently similar, meat-wise. It actually turns like a sea blue-green color. (It smells like farts and then gets worse.)”
quote:
“A dead body, specifically a human corpse has a rank and pungent smell mixed with a tinge of sickening sweetness. Imagine a rotting piece of meat with a couple drops of cheap perfume and you’re halfway to understanding what a human corpse smells like.”
quote:
“Rotten eggs, feces, and a used toilet left out for a month x 1000. It is unholy.
quote:
“I was a volunteer firefighter and police had to enter the residence before any of us could. The SCBA is automatic. So I quickly put it on a cop to enter the residence of a woman who neighbors haven’t seen in weeks. Those SCBAs block toxins and the cop ran out of the house drowning on his vomit. He claims he smelled her through the mask….That’s how bad a dead person smells. We eat everything. Those toxins in our bodies is what makes us stink so bad when we die. And to make it worse, when I got home I snorted soap while in the shower. A few hours later I began smelling the stench of her again. The bacteria is said to cling to your nostril hair and remultiplies later until it’s gone. I can’t tell you what it smells like. You’ll know it when you do.”

You never forget it.
Edit:
And why are people curious about this? This on the same level as watching cartel execution videos.

Well it looks like we've officially run out of shite to talk about.

I couldn't really compare. The only dead body that I found had only been dead for less than a day.

Father, who was a police officer had a container of vicks vaper rub for those humid days and a dead body.
You grabbed a huge load of that shite and shoved it up ur nose, and prayed it would take some of the bite, from that smell away.
They would get bodies that had sat in a brick house, baking for days, sometimes up to a week or so.

Its the most memorable smell you'll ever experience. Not the most pungent though IMO. Any prolonged abscess is way worse when it's lanced.
Also large quantities of human blood is not pleasant either.

The smell is bad. Rotting flesh typically smells terrible. The thing that gets people is knowing that it's a human body making that smell. It's psychologically scarring.

Had a roomate in Pharmacy school, during the summer break , without telling anyone, unplugged the fridge as we all had moved back to our homes for the break, and the meat and frozen dinners and things thawed and rotted out for a solid 2 months
My mom and I came back to clean some and opened the door to what I have to assume is the equivalent smell. It was truly awful .

Neighbor at my old apartment complex died in his apartment and went about a week before someone called the cops. I was gone for a few days but when I came back it was a pretty terrible smell and that was just from walking by his door. It does have a sweet smell to it but it's very hard to describe.

Your old lady's cooter is a much more accurate description.

Ask The Ocean. He's in a Mexican cartel.

I screwed up last year and watched the cartel flay a guy on some website. It was horrible but I couldn't look away from it! Those guys are on another level when it comes to violence.
Edit: Didn't see the cartel execution thread going

Must have only been book smart.

Weird cat. He wouldn't use the community microwave or fridge. Had his own "Fry Daddy" and microwave and fridge for his room. His mom would drive 30 minutes and pick his dirty clothes up and wash them..

I could ask my close friend. She found her 13 year old son with a self inflicted gunshot wound yesterday.
Bullying. It's unbelievable how fricked up the US is. I'm glad I don't live there anymore.

Did 4 autopsies when I was 16, didn't notice a smell really.
