Skin slip occurs in dead bodies and is a natural part of the decomposition process.

Over time (from the minute a person dies), their skin begins to loosen. This loosened upper layer of skin will often get large blisters that fill with oedema (edema I guess outside of European English? - basically it's bodily fluids, mostly water). It is called skin slip because even the slightest touch or brush of the skin will cause it to peel right off in large sheets, or "slip" off.

Skin slip on a deceased body?

Skin slip, also known as "degloving," is a postmortem phenomenon where the skin separates from the underlying tissues due to the breakdown of collagen and the action of bacteria. This process typically begins within a few days after death, particularly in warm and humid conditions, as the body begins to decompose. Skin slip can result in the exposure of underlying muscles and tissues, leading to significant changes in the appearance of the body during the early stages of decomposition.
