Do elephants still stand when they die?

Question

I was reading a random fact sheet and it said that when an elephant dies it still stands. Is it true?

Answer 1

I think that, like all animals when they die, their muscles would collapse, and they would fall to the ground. I've also seen pictures of dying elephants, and they are lying down.

Answer 2

dude if its a fact book then obviously its true, if it wasnt true they wouldnt write that on a book and publish it if it wasnt right?

Answer 3

In all the pics of dead elephants i've seen they're always laying down.
