Answer: Due to their open circulatory system, and the fact that they breathe through little holes in each of their body segments, they are not dependent on the mouth or head to breathe. The roach only dies because without a mouth, it can't drink water and dies of thirst.It is TRUE. A cockroach can survive for a week without its head because it breathes through its body and its nervous system is scattered amongst various nodes throughout its body. It will eventually die of hunger as without a head it has no mouth to eat with.So, how long can a roach live without its head? Well, here's the answer… up to a week! Unlike humans, cockroaches breathe though little holes found in each of their body segments, so they don't need their mouth or head to breathe.A headless cockroach has no mouth to drink with and will be dead from dehydration in less than a week. Which brings the total day count from the moment it loses its head to the moment it loses its life to somewhere around 7 days or less
