Nah, plastics don't break down that fast.

That’s why so much of his face is still depicted, I thought

i don't have any knowledge or proof on this but, just as a gut-feeling, he probably is already skelton

Well hey I did a quick check and it looks like MJ was buried not cremated so chances are good!

[-] Crackhappy@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

I wonder what your search history looks like.

Yeah I think in general this would be on the milder end of the spectrum. Also the reason I found that answer is because I guess people were claiming to have his cremated remains in jewelry. I didn’t actually read the article since google just summarizes it but I bet people were selling them.

People truly will do anything to make a buck.

His coffin was gold wasn’t it? And incased in concrete too. I would have thought that would delay decomposition somewhat, but I’m not an expert.

I don't think if bodies are well embalmed they decay very much.

[-] EmpathicVagrant@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Depends on how much air gets to the cadaver, doesn’t it? (Correct me if I’m incorrect, smarter folks.) Concrete certainly isn’t airtight, neither is a gold encasement most likely. Worms, bacteria, water, all kinds of fun creatures and elements are likely able to get in, so the look may well be accurate by now.
