What happens 30 min after death

I'm looking for some help understanding what happens to the body 30 minutes after death. I recently heard a story about how a person's soul lingers for about thirty minutes after their death. Is there any scientific evidence to back this up? Is there anything else that happens to the body during this time? Has anyone experienced this or studied it? I would love to hear other people's thoughts on this.

The body begins to cool:

After death, the body's metabolic processes and circulation cease, and the body begins to cool. This is known as algor mortis and is the primary indicator that a person has passed away. The body's temperature will drop approximately 1.5°F per hour for the first 10 hours. After 30 minutes, the body temperature will drop to about 89°F.

Cellular breakdown:

At this stage, cellular breakdown begins to occur. Cells will start to die due to the lack of oxygen and other nutrients. This process will continue until the body is completely broken down and the cells are no longer recognizable.

Organ failure:

Organ failure can begin to occur as the body's cells begin to die. This can include the heart, lungs, kidneys, and other organs. Without the body's metabolic processes and circulation, the organs will no longer be able to function.

Decomposition:

After death, the body will begin to decompose. Without any metabolic activity, the body will start to break down due to the action of bacteria and fungi. It can take weeks or even months for the body to completely decompose.

The smell of death:

The smell of death is a strong indicator that a person has passed away. The smell is caused by the breakdown of proteins in the body and the production of gases by bacteria and fungi. The smell can become very strong after 30 minutes and can linger for days or weeks.

Approximately 30 minutes after death, the body begins to cool down. This is caused by a gradual decrease in metabolic processes and the lack of blood flow to the organs. Depending on the environment, the body may cool down at different rates. After a few hours, rigor mortis usually sets in as the body's muscles start to stiffen. After several days, the body begins to decompose as bacteria and other organisms break down the tissue. This process can take several weeks to a few months, depending on the environment and the cause of death.

30 minutes after death, the body begins to cool and stiffen. This is a process known as rigor mortis. Generally, after 24 hours, the body is completely stiff and will remain in this state for up to 36 hours. During this time, the body will start to become pale and some discoloration may occur. After 36 hours, the body will gradually start to relax and return to its original state. Additionally, some bacteria in the gut may start to cause the body to bloat and release gases.

Q: What are the physiological changes that occur after death?

A: After death, the body begins to experience a multitude of changes. Initially, the body's cells will begin to break down, leading to the eventual decomposition of the body. As the muscles relax, rigor mortis may set in. The body's temperature will also decrease as the organs stop functioning. As the cells die, the body will become pale in colour and may start to swell. Fluids will start to leak from the body, and the nails and hair may appear more brittle. The body's organs will begin to shut down, leading to the eventual decay of the body.

What is the physical process of the body after death?

After death, the body undergoes a process known as decomposition, where the body breaks down and returns to the Earth. This process begins within minutes of death and can take anywhere from days, to weeks, to years, depending on the environment. During decomposition, bacteria, fungi, and other organisms consume and break down the body's tissues, leading to a variety of physical changes.
