Autolytic Incubation

Spontaneous cellular degradation commences within minutes post-mortem

Osmotic breakdown, necrotic bloom
Myocytes ferment in enzyme-rich tomb
Mitochondrial liquefaction, cortex collapse
Intracranial sludge in formalin traps

Haemoglobin marination, organs excrete
Lymphatic drainage—cadaverous treat
Volatile vapors, bacterial feast
A banquet for the microbes, from skin to meat
