The stages of decomposition are detailed on social media by Dr. Fi Atencio of the City Health Department until a deàd body becomes a skull and skeleton.

Dr. Fi Atencio detailed the steps of decomposition, or the decomposition of a deàd body till it becomes a skull and skeleton, on social media. 

This followed the finding of a skull and skeletal remains thought to belong to Jovelyn Galleno.

According to the information provided, the “skeletonization” will take months to years.

In Dr.’s position, pay attention:

“In cold weather mas matagal maagnas. Lalo at tag-ulan ngayon dito sa Puerto Princesa. And mas mabilis ang decomposition pag binaon sa lupa because organisms would help breaking down the remains.

“With this info, I hope people would use critical thinking if it is likely possible for an 18 days old remain to skeletonized in a rainy weather.”
