Expert's Opinion:
“A body can mummify in a dry, warm environment,” Philippe Boxho, pathologist at the Forensic Center of Liege told Carters.
“It requires at least a week to attain this kind of state. In cases like this the body had rotten [sic] in the bed [and] his internal organs had melted and liquefied. … Even though the smell of human decay is very specific, many individuals equate that smell to the smell of garbage and once the body has become rotten the smell does decrease significantly.”
