Decomposition Rate with Formaldehyde
I am writing a story, and I needed a little forensic help. What would a corpse look like after ten years of burial in a coffin, average winters/summers/rain and ect (average being average for places that get around three to eight inches of snow every year.
How much slower does a body pumped full of formaldehyde decompose? How long does it take formaldehyde to decompose, or dry out?

Very interesting question. Have you heard about the Body Farm? It is here in Tennessee where I live. They do research like this. Check it out.
