When does evacuation of the bladder and bowels occur after death?

Evacuation of the bladder and bowels can occur shortly after death due to the relaxation of muscle control, particularly in the sphincters. This process typically happens within a few hours after death as the body undergoes rigor mortis and other post-mortem changes. Factors such as the cause of death, the individual's health, and environmental conditions can influence the timing and extent of this evacuation.

This depends upon the trajectory of death, and whether or not the bowels and bladder had any contents. But when a person dies such muscles are released immediately, so would bowel and bladder content.
