Detailed explanation-1: -This refers to the destruction of soft tissues by bacterial action. It will usually occur 2-3 weeks after death.

Detailed explanation-2: -The late post-mortem phase is when the body tissue starts disintegrating and is primarily describable as decomposition or putrefaction, adipocere formation, mummification, or skeletonization.

Detailed explanation-3: -STAGE 5: Skeletonization The last of the stages of human decomposition, stage five, refers to what remains-only bones and scant connective tissues. If exposed to the elements, the bones eventually return to the earth and are scattered by animals. There is no specific set time frame for when skeletonization occurs.

Detailed explanation-4: -Stage 3: Putrefaction-4 to 10 days after death The build up of gas resulting from the intense activity of the multiplying bacteria, creates pressure within the body. This pressure inflates the body and forces fluids out of cells and blood vessels and into the body cavity.

Detailed explanation-5: -The earliest external sign of putrefaction is the greenish discoloration of the skin of the anterior abdominal wall in the right iliac fossa region.
