Where did 7 pounds get its name?

Answer 1

This question was asked by another person on wiki

and they said he killed seven people therefore each soul weighs one pound making a total of seven, but that's incorrect. About a month ago my 5th grade Spanish teacher told me that scientist weighed a dying man at 100 pounds. Sadly he passed away and the weighed him.93 pds!!! So without a doubt seven pounds name comes from the weight of a human beings soul. P.S if your wondering how I got in contact with my 5th grade science teacher its because I'm in 6th grade.
