Would an adult corpse (age 20) buried and embalmed in 2001 in avg soil would it be intact to any extent?

Question

our would it be just bones in soup? any grave wax yet? We have 6.6 to 7.6 years of time passed.

Feel free to answer detailed deep.... best answer wins... What if the cadaver had been in only since 2004? would there be any difference then?

Answer 1

It is entirely possible that that body could be completely intact, with little physical change.  It is also possible that it is decompod greatly.  There is no way to know.  Every dead body is different in that the person embalms differently.  Some "take" the embalming fluid better than others, some medications adversely affect the embalming.  Again, there is no correct or difinitive answer, as there are so many factors that affect the rate of decomposition (type of casket, type of vault, climate, soil, etc.)

Answer 2

Everything I've read indicates the body would simply be a skeleton in a hurry.  I was a little surprised to learn that it would happen in a year or less.  Embalming is hardly permanent.  I thought it was.
