A parasite requires a living organism, called a host, in which to live/invade. When the host dies, the adult parasite dies as well, however the eggs will remain viable..unless the host met his/her demise in a furnace or some other means that destroys the eggs.
Organisms decompose entities which were "living" at one time and have died such as:leaves fall off trees and bacteria, fungi break them down to humus and animals die and bacteria and other microorganisms begin to break down the tissues... and even parts of living bodies...such as a part of the intestines which becomes "strangulated" and in this case anaerobic organisms begin to decompose the section that is strangulated.
