After death, a body undergoes several changes, beginning with pallor and a lack of circulation, which leads to a waxy or pale appearance. Rigor mortis sets in within a few hours, causing the muscles to stiffen. Decomposition starts soon after, characterized by discoloration, bloating due to gas buildup, and eventual breakdown of tissues. Without embalming, these processes can accelerate, leading to visible signs of decay and a strong odor.

The body of Pope Pius XII was not embalmed or, not properly embalmed, and he, too, was rapidly decomposing as he lay in state. The stench was so great that those soldiers guarding his body were relieved every 15 minutes.
