Nurse says there is one 'very messy' thing that occurs with 'every body' after death

We're all going to die.

Don't panic, there's not an asteroid headed down to squish us (they'd spot it a long way off if there was) or some other form of natural disaster set to put an end to all life on Earth.

It's more that we're all inevitably going to end up shuffling off our mortal coils at a very slow pace and in the end we all make it to the same destination.

Fortunately, there are people who have the jobs of making that final journey, which we all must take as comfortable and dignified as possible.

Hospice nurse Julie McFadden educates people about her job online and has said that she's seen over 100 people die, making her quite the expert on the subject of the final curtain call.

She's seen plenty of things that people do near the end of their life, and noted that their pets seem to be able to tell when the end is drawing near.

As for what happens when they're actually gone, she explained that there is one 'very messy' thing that goes on as the body relaxes.

You might have heard that when someone dies they usually empty their bowels, and the hospice nurse explained where that idea comes from.

She said: "It relaxes, like I've been saying - hence why people urinate, have bowel movements, sometimes have fluid come up their nose or out of their eyes or nose, ear.

"I mean all of the things in your body that are holding fluids in relax. That's why death can be messy sometimes. After someone dies, not always, but sometimes, the body relaxes so much, it releases all of its fluid.

"So I like to talk about it so people aren't surprised if that happens. Very normal and to be expected sometimes."

In the hopes of making sure people understand what happens after death and how normal it is, she went on to say that since the blood is pulled downwards and no longer being pumped through the body the back of the person will begin to appear purple.

In other videos she's explained that the human body does some 'amazing' things in the final moments including 'visioning', where they'll vividly remember family and friends and perhaps even 'see' them come to their deathbed.

She's also said that hearing is the final sense in the body to go, so it's worth talking to loved ones in their final moments and beyond like they're still there.
