I heard it all after I learned someone bought a used Sybian.
In the company of four other doctors, Dr. MacDougall carefully measured the weight of his first patient prior to his death. Once the patient died, an interesting event occurred.
Suddenly, coincident with death, the beam end dropped with an audible stroke hitting against the lower limiting bar and remaining there with no rebound. The loss was ascertained to be three-fourths of an ounce.
Dr. Duncan MacDougall
The experiment continued on the next patient with the same results. Dr. MacDougall felt he was on to something extraordinary. A quote from the 11 March 1907 New York Times article captures the historic moment:
“ The instant life ceased the opposite scale pan fell with a suddenness that was astonishing – as if something had been suddenly lifted from the body. Immediately all the usual deductions were made for physical loss of weight, and it was discovered that there was still a full ounce of weight unaccounted for”.
All five doctors took their own measurements and compared their results. Not all the patients lost the same weight, but they did lose something that could not be accounted for.
If you've ever watched people die, there is something about that moment.

Perhaps some of the Nurses here might be able to articulate it better.

I don't believe for a second that they have any proof of a soul but I do agree that when a person dies there is something about that moment. Something that is there then isn't.
Lot of people agree with that, lots don't. Even lots of religious people don't agree with it but it's something I've noticed from my own point of view. If I'm wrong I'm sure I'll find out pretty quickly after that massive stroke I'll have at age 145 while getting a blowjob from a 120 year old Jennifer Lawrence who will have become my personal sex slave later in life.
Most people of my/ our age dealt with death. Be it a relative, a friend, or a remote acquaintance. So I'm no special snowflake.
But I remember how the death one of my colleagues affected me (we weren't close, but I identified with that person in certain ways).
The shock of the news made me experience for a few moments and for the first/ only time in my life something that professionals might call depersonalization or derealization (feeling abrupty separated from one's body/ environment).
I'm certain that in other contexts (people who go through significant stress or people with mental health problems) all the psychological explanations and theories apply.
But in my case, notwhitstanding it's psychological trigger, my brief experience was on a different plane, a physical sort of experience or disembodiment.
Been drinking paki liqueurs again, flaky?

Yeah.
Sometimes, they fart.
