Detailed explanation-1: -The fresh stage is the immediate period following death in which autolysis occurs. Algor mortis, livor mortis, and rigor mortis are apparent in this stage.

Detailed explanation-2: -Stage 3: Putrefaction-4 to 10 days after death Bacteria break down tissues and cells, releasing fluids into body cavities. They often respire in the absence of oxygen (anaerobically) and produce various gases including hydrogen sulphide, methane, cadaverine and putrescine as by-products.

Detailed explanation-3: -Autolysis is the breakdown of the body by endogenous substances. It proceeds most rapidly in organs such as the pancreas and stomach. It may predominate in more arid conditions and can eventually result in mummification. In most circumstances, autolysis and putrefaction occur in tandem.

Detailed explanation-4: -Putrefaction: Putrefaction is the decomposition of the body carried out by the microbial action. After cessation of homeostasis, the natural flora of the body migrates from the gut to the blood vessels and spreads all over the body.
