What Causes Bleeding From Nose After Death?
Hi. I have a question. My Mom has passed away on last Saturday. She had a cervical cancer on the last stage and the Doctor has stopped all treatments of chemotherapy. But when she died, there was blood every where, coming out of her nose. Can you kindly tell me the reason? Also, on her last days, she was on high dose of oxygen via nose

Hi,
I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your mom..
When gas formation occurs in the stomach and intestines after death due to putrefaction the abdomen can become tense and distended. Subsequently, the increase in abdominal pressure causes a purge of foul, blood-tinged fluid from the mouth, nose...
May God rest her soul in peace and give strength to your family members to bear this irreparable loss !!
