Not usually. Well, not all the way. What moves "stuff" thru your bowels is peristalsis, which is small muscle contractions in your intestines. These contractions force the digested material thru your bowels. But when you die, obviously, these contractions stop. But the muscle at the end of your bowel (sphincter) also stops functioning (looses muscle tone) so some material may, thru gravity or other movements, find its way out.

Where in the human body is your bladder located?
The urinary bladder is part of the excretory system. The excretory system is composed of the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra. It's function is to remove urea and other compounds from the body, and to maintain the balance of salts and pH in the body. The urinary bladder, commonly just called the bladder, is located behind the pelvic bone and may protrude into the abdomen when full. It's function is to store urine (commonly called "pee") until there is an opportunity to empty the bladder via the urethra.

Void means "empty" or "to emptly" in medical terminology..ANSWERto void something means it is non existent, to empty your bladder just means that you are emptying it of urine but it isn't void of urine as the bladder remains with moisture in it and is still a bladder. To void is to make it extinguished from reality, and is not the same. So the answer is "false"Clarification:Medical professionals use the term "void" when referring to the emptying of the bladder.
