It is said that while his body lay in state, during the night his body extruded some matter and fluids. It is thought this happened due to the poor care taken in embalming Henry. In the morning his body was found with dogs licking at the fluids. This coincided with a curse laid on him by the catholic church after reformation. The curse went something like" dogs will lick your bones for your actions".
It was actually William the Conquerer who's stomach exploded at their funeral. His funeral was awful because Thieves came and stole his jewels, The church set on fire and then due to the mix of the gas and the fire in his stomach...it just...exploded ... :S
