If such were the case, then there are hundreds of natural mummies around the world who should be considered as saints, including many Inca burials in the Andes of South America.When a body of a candidate for sainthood is discovered to be incorrupt during the canonization process, relics are usually removed and made available to the faithful for veneration.
