So I’ve heard that when you die you lose controls of your bowels and end up shitting yourself. But if the sphincter gives out, don’t the intestines give out too and not push fecal matter out? I thought it could be from gas buildup in the Intestines, acting like a loaded barrel with pressured gas, which makes sense, but I thought that took a bit to happen.

I work in a care home. Seen more than a few dead bodies. It happens pretty quickly after death most times, quickly enough to where they’ve done it and we’ve cleaned it up before they’ve come to collect the body. They piss and shit. Some also gasp after death which is creepy.
i’ve read it depends on what position you’re in. gravity plays a role in the process
Holding our bladder and bowels is something that is learned, we aren’t born toilet trained. When we die, everything we have learned is gone, and our bodies revert to their natural state. Our muscles essentially relax, and everything flows naturally.
Wait till you hear about ‘coffin birth’s
You no longer have any muscle control when you die and that lack of peristalsis causes you to just let it all out. The sphincter relaxes and it sort of spills out…
