Gary Ridgway — the infamous Green River killer, who admitted to murdering more than 40 women — confessed that he insisted on his (unknowning) victims to go to the bathroom (No. 2), before engaging in more leisurely activities.
“This was not for the benefit of the victim,” he told detectives — the main reason was that many victims defecated in his bed, after they were strangled. (Anyways.)
When most people die, they piss and poop due to the relaxation of muscles, and so sphincters relax and allow feces and urine to pass. In old people (and “natural deaths”), this phenomenon is often hidden, because during the last weeks, they eat next-to-nothing and hardly drink anymore. So hardly defecate and pee.
When trauma is involved — think car accidents, death by hanging, or Gary Ridgway — the effect usually is even more notable than in “ordinary deaths.” Splash, squirt, BOOM — the works.
We never see it on TV, but maybe we should see detectives catch their breath on a more regular basis because of the cesspool a victim has created after he or she has died.
In the end, we all go through the process, whether we like it or not —
We all go with a bang, so to speak.
