This is incorruptibly stupid.
There was a documentary, possibly on yt, a guy was trying to discover how a few Buddhist practicioners had failed to rot, after dying..
He came to the conclusion that it was dehydration that enabled them to self-mummify, instead of rotting.
1 corpse was in the Tibetan Buddhist area, another was in Japan.
Also, at least for the case of these Buddhist monks: some poisonous concoction they'd be building tolerance gradually to keep the decomposers away.
