Welcome to the Body Farm | Explorer

[Music]
that’s how I ended up in a body farm the
biggest one in the country
the forensic anthropology Research
Center in South Texas studies how bodies
decompose and why their research helps
law enforcement officers forensic
specialists and scientists figure out
when and how a person died well if
you’ve ever tried digging holes
especially in Texas it’s pretty
difficult thing to do Oh limestone we
have around here
totally so another way that I don’t
remember is tend to cover the bodies
were thrown refuse on it you know
whatever’s around just to try to conceal
the body perpetrators right some
murderers exactly so what this thesis
project is attempting to replicate is in
that instance that you know they throw a
mattress top of the body how that
affects the decomposition rate of these
humans right so if I don’t eat my body
here I could help solve a murder from
beyond the grave
what other good deeds could my rotting
corpse do for Humanity

that’s that’s real okay I am studying
how the clothing will affect vulture
scavenging if clothing like impedes
their ability to access the body they
have a very strong sense of smell are
they just like chin are they watching us
right now it could be
