Do dead bodies smell like a slaughter house? I used to have to drive by one of those on occasion and I’ll never forget that smell.
Comment on With every exhale, we're smelling the inside of our lungs.

One time I came home from work and found a deer in my front yard that had been hit by a car. It was still standing but it looked awful. I seriously thought about putting it out of its misery but before I could do anything, it limped off into the woods right behind my house where it collapsed and died.
About three days later, I opened my front door and got hit in the face by the most horrible smell I have ever smelt. Imagine the smell from when you leave a meat package in the trash for a day or two. Dial that up to about 1000. Set it in the hot sun for three days and you’ll probably be pretty close. It’s so strong it stimulates your gag reflex. I have a pretty strong stomach but I thought I was going to be sick. I couldn’t go outside for a week after that because that’s how long it took the scavengers to clean up the carcass.

That sounds like such an awful experience

In my area there was a “return to nature” funeral home that started piling corpses in a warehouse. They were sending the family members concrete instead of the actual remains and there was something like 120 bodies piled up. The reason there caught was that the neighbors reported the smell and the police investigated. The FBI ended up doing a several month long cleanup.
