      Hi there,

      When you die, all your muscles relax – so yepp, bowels open 😉

      All your muscles relax when you die. So if you had to go (either for a number 1 or number 2) just before you died, is, it can happen.

      I know, not a nice thought, but hey, it’s how our body works! 😉

      I think you do it just before you die, e.g. “oh [beep], that train’s moving very fast [splat]” or “oh [beep], the plane is going down”.

      Basically, although it’s more to due with a loss of muscle tension, so the sphincters that normally keep your bowels closed, relax and waste comes out 😛 lol

      Yes that happens when you die. Once death has set in your muscles will all relax and due to this anything that is in your bowels at the time will come out. Don’t die after a vindaloo, hate to think about the mess.
