The church officials must also eliminate all possible natural explanations for the phenomenon. Certain soil types and climates lend themselves to forming natural mummies of a sort. There are a number of 'incorrupt' saints who are not truly incorrupt as they were actually preserved by natural means. Incorruptibility can never be used alone as a reason for sainthood. In fact, it has little bearing on the canonization process.
