I have never heard that bodies decay before death. I know circulation to the extremities is lowered...but that's not decay. My mom worked in a nursing home, so I visited often as a child, and I don't remember a "decaying" smell - it smelled mostly clean, unless one of the incontinent patients had an accident. How can a body decay before it's dead?
