Jerry Payne's made this film in the mid 1960s as part of his graduate work at Clemson University. Payne writes...My study was the first "detailed" study of succession in animal decomposition and the first with the pig as the model. The significance of the pig is that it closely approximates the human body (skin, body hair, size etc.) so the data generated could be used in modern forensic science to approximate the time of human deaths. At that time it was simply not possibly (moral/ethical/legal concerns) to perform decompositon studies with human corpses, I know because I tried and was denied. Even so there were many instances where some concerned person buried my research pigs. Music is by the Polish composer Goreck --his symphony #3 "Symphony of Sorrowful Songs". This song is based on a message written on the wall of a Gestapo prison during World War II.

Horrifying yet beautiful. Sad yet joyful. This is the fate of every living thing on this planet. A Larger creature will die so another will live to eventually give nutrients to another. A brilliant cycle mother nature has planned. Great video.

Read the info sidebar. There is very much a point to it. Many murders and other crimes have been solved because of this kind of research.

It`s idiotic. You must be an idiot to video stuff like this. There`s also no point to it. We all know how we all end up. it`s not interesting...
