This is a bit disturbing, I apologize.
My sister was morbidly obese when she died and I’m only mentioning it because of why she died and I’m not sure if it could have had any part in the way her body changed after death.
She died at my mother’s home while in bed 2 or 3 days after weight loss surgery. Congestive heart failure. I believe she suffocated in her own fluids. There was fluid that came out of her mouth all over the pillow.
I saw photos of her. Her face was dark purple and very swollen. She had purple on her chest too and was laying on her side.
They said she died around 5:30 pm that night. It took around 2 or 3 hours for her body to be picked up. The photos were taken in that timeframe.
My mother is convinced she died the day before and she didn’t check on her until that evening. My mother is not mentally sound and should not have been looking after her but I digress.
From the way her body looked, is anyone able to tell me if she was really only dead for a few hours or over 24 hours?
She didn’t reply to a text message I sent her the morning before that and I’ve always thought that was odd.
My mother took these photos and like I said she is NOT mentally well. Unfortunately I stumbled across the photos on her phone while looking for some other ones.
