I’ve been quite curious lately to find out what happens the our blood after someone’s passing, does it thin or does it clot etc? I was also curious to know if the blood was something that can also be donated after death too like other organs can?
A bit of an odd question to ask but I’ve been interested to learn what happens to it.
In: Biology
When the heart stops pumping, blood stops circulating and, because it’s pooling, it begins to clot very quickly. Trying to drain a substantial amount of blood after someone dies wouldn’t be worth it because of the clotting and other changes that happen (eg, blood cells dying and changes to chemicals/minerals in the blood).
