Like if they die with braces, a metal retainer, earrings, a gold tooth, a pacemaker, et cetera.
By this point, Phase II will initiate as the metal bits reorganize themselves into a lining along your spine. They will take over control of your corpse for the following months, synthetically reanimating you. Nothing can stop your flesh from discolouring and rotting slowly, however. Eventually, the metal ennards will absolve themselves of your flesh vessel as it no longer suits their purposes, and control is returned to you once more; although your skin may by this point have discoloured into a shade of purple.
So a pacemaker will keep going even if the person no longer has brain activity. So a strong magnet is swiped over the chest to turn it off. Not sure what they do with it after that, though
It’s this kind of irresponsibility that leads to a zombie apocalypse.
My grandfather died with a bullet in his foot that had been there for about 40 years. He was cremated and there was nothing left of the bullet.
In cremation, the metal is picked up either by hand or magnets and recycled. This is because the bones need to be grinded into “ashes” and they can’t do that with metal in it.
Lead melts at such a low temperature that it will vaporize long before the body is reduced to ash.
I didn’t believe you. So I looked it up. I had no idea how hot cremation was. What a waste of energy.
I learned this listening to true crime podcasts. Killers often try to burn bodies but it doesn’t work because you need an actual furnace to reduce a body down to ash.
