A mortician has shed some light on what happens to the human body after someone dies – including why people sometimes poop themselves when they pass away and what coroners do with silicone breast implants, which ‘don’t decompose.’
Gerald Ledford, a medical examiner from Little Rock, Arkansas, became a viral TikTok sensation after he started sharing a slew of bleak details about the end of life.
He has dished on everything from why he has to ‘remove men’s testicles’ while giving an autopsy to the harrowing reason why it may appear as though someone’s hair and nails are still growing after they die. Most recently, he responded to a person who asked him if breast implants are removed before someone is buried – since they’re made out of a material that doesn’t decompose naturally.
‘They’re yours. You bought them, you’re taking them with you to the grave,’ he told his followers.
‘After you decompose, the boobs will still be there, they’re not going to decompose. The skin will shrink around them and eventually decompose.’
He did not specify what happens to them if the person is cremated.
Many people, especially those who have received a boob job, were left stunned over the fact that their implants will be sitting in their coffins with their bones for the rest of time – and they took to the comment section to share their thoughts.
‘Oh… I did not think about this when I got my implants,’ one person wrote.
Another said, ‘I’m gonna be bones and boobs, got it.’
‘Walking through cemetery, hearing a gentle thud as implants fall off,’ joked someone else.
‘Thank God… I paid a lot for these beauties,’ read a fourth comment.
