After 50 years in a coffin, a dead body typically undergoes significant decomposition, influenced by factors like the burial environment and the materials of the coffin. The body may appear skeletal, with soft tissues largely decomposed due to microbial activity and environmental conditions. If the coffin is sealed, preservation might occur to some extent, but overall, the remains would likely show signs of decay, such as discoloration and loss of flesh. The extent of decomposition can vary widely based on local soil conditions, moisture levels, and other environmental factors.

What would a body in a SEALED coffin look like after 2 or 4 or 10 years buried?
A body in a sealed coffin would undergo different stages of decomposition depending on the duration of burial. After 2 years, the body would likely be in the early stages of decomposition, with some soft tissue breakdown and possible mummification if the environment is dry. After 4 years, more significant decomposition would occur, with the body losing most soft tissue, while bones would begin to be exposed. After 10 years, the remains would primarily consist of bones, and any remaining organic material would be minimal, depending on the coffin's materials and environmental conditions.

What does a dead body look like after a year would it still look the same after a year will they look like that forever?
Unless the body has been mummified (a way of preserving it), a dead body begins to decompose within days. That is why immediately after death, a funeral director might embalm the body, because the embalming fluid does slow down the body's decay. But it will not stop decay and decomposition from occurring. Depending on the type of coffin, some bodies decompose more slowly than others, but generally, a dead body in a typical coffin would not entirely decompose down to a skeleton for at least 12-15 years, and in cool climates, it can take even longer. Thus, after a year, you would certainly see signs of decomposition: for example, the skin would have dried out, and the body would be discolored.
