When people die do their heads shrink?
nope, no shrinking it just slowly decays and withers away all the flesh will start to dissapear slowly aslo the hair and that doesent actually keep growing when you die, your body, and face looses all the moisture and everything which causes it (in small part) to shrink not in the way you think though not like a shrunkern head! lol and when it does this, some hair is pushed out of your head, so it looks like its grown a bit the same with th fingernails what looks like shrinking is actually just loss of moisture and fluids
I know when I first saw a person in a casket I wondered the same thing. What causes that si the fact that all bodily fluids are drained from the body. A small amount of embalming fluid is put back in but no where near the same amount that is taken out.
No, hair and nails do not grow after a person dies. What you are seeing is, again, from the fluids being removed from the body. The skin draws back making it look like they have grown.
no but I did hear if they don't decay there hair still grows and so does their finger nails
I believe it decomposes (sp) verses it shrinking
