Two or three hours after a person or animal dies, the muscle start to stiffen. This phenomenon progresses in a downward, head-to-toe direction. In 12 to 18 hours the body is, as the saying goes, stiff as a board. At this stage, you can move the joints only by force, breaking them in the process.]]> 2018-10-26 13:37:38 UTC https://padlet.com/lriv0393/8dn6qzb9a2n8/wish/297380905
