Honest Answer

[(Anonymous)]

Same anon from above...good god why am I online talking about poopwhatiswrongwithmylife...

Anyway...

Short answer is: occasionally.

Long answer is that normally to push stuff through your large intestine you need both gut peristalsis (contraction of the intestine itself) and to push it out of your rectum you need to contract your abdominal muscles and relax your anal sphincters. When you die, gut peristalsis comes to a halt, but the sphincters relax as well. Anything that is really watery/soft can seep out, but normally that isn't terribly much. Probably wouldn't even be noticeable (god, my job would be so much more pleasant during pelvis dissections if everything was just evacuated O_o). Same thing happens with your bladder - it won't contract (unless maybe you're really really scared right before death), but the sphincter will relax, and urine will seep out.

This entire thread has been very interesting and your comments are fascinating. Thanks for telling us about all this...I have to admit that it's not something I really thought about before but now I feel all educated, lol

okay so really weird response, but can I just say thank you for writing this?

one of my siblings died several years ago, while they were away at college and it has always gnawed at me... the idea that their roommate found them in a stinking pile of their own excrement. It just... I don't know it's weird to think about but it's bothered me, like that they had to go in such an undignified way? idk

but know that I know it's more of a myth, it does make me a feel a little better.
