Why the dead body became blue and hard after sometimes

first thing .... dead body doesn't become blue . it becomes pale and white and discoloured rather.When you die your heart stops pumping blood around your body, thus depriving your cells of oxygen, which rapidly begin to die. Soon after death rigor mortis occurs, which is caused by a complex chemical reaction (involving lactic acid and myosin), which forms a gel like substance which creates the body's stiffness.

Upon death blood also starts to settle in the those parts of the body that are closest to the ground, turning the top part grayish white and waxy looking, whilst darkening the underside. This results in a deep red-brown stain.
Almost immediately, the blood becomes more acidic as carbon dioxide builds up. This causes cells to split open, emptying enzymes into the tissues, which start to digest themselves from within.

You turn white — and purple. Gravity makes its mark on the human body in the first moments after death. While the rest of your body turns deathly pale, heavy red blood cells move to the parts of your body that are closest to the ground. This is because circulation has stopped. The results are purple splotches over your lower parts known as livor mortis. In fact, it is by studying the markings of livor mortis that the coroner can tell exactly what time you died.

Calcium makes your muscles contract. We've all heard of rigor mortis, in which a dead body becomes stiff and hard to move. Rigor mortis generally sets in about three to four hours after death, peaks at 12 hours, and dissipates after 48 hours. There are pumps in the membranes of our muscle cells that regulate calcium. When the pumps stop working in death, calcium floods the cells, causing the muscles to contract and stiffen. Thus, there is rigor mortis.
hope it helps

Heyaa folk,

When you die your heart stops pumping blood around your body, thus depriving your cells of oxygen, which rapidly begin to die. Soon after death rigor mortis occurs, which is caused by a complex chemical reaction (involving lactic acid and myosin), which forms a gel like substance which creates the body's stiffness. A body weighs the same no matter it's physical state. However, a dead body will feel heavier because of the dead weight effect. A dead weight basically means that the centre of gravity is where ever you are supporting the weighted load with no support from it. It feels heavier, but it weighs the same.

Hope it helps u :)
