Question: What happens when you died

Rupert Marshall answered on 9 Mar 2017:

I’m not dead yet! But when I die it’s because something in my body has broken down and can’t be repaired – like a car. And like a car, if we were left alone we would slowly rot away. Our body becomes food for other animals or nutrients for plants. In some cultures they have “sky burials” where they place bodies of people who have died on a hilltop or platform high up for vultures and other animals to feed on. Dying is just part of the natural cycle. I’m hoping we both have a bit longer to live though
