Although there are many causes that can cause SADS, the most common is coronary artery disease. About half of all deaths due to coronary artery disease happen suddenly. People who experience sudden arrhythmic Death Syndrome are generally healthy. However, some people may have other conditions that can increase their risk of sudden death.
The swelling of dead bodies is like balloons
After four days, dead corpses begin to balloon up. Forensicologists can observe this swelling effect to determine what type of insects were found on the bodies. Also, the skin around the fingernails and toenails contracts and dries. This happens to dead bodies as they float in water. Some communities, including Indian Zoroastrian Parsi, believe the dead should be offered as vultures. Another community believes that jellyfish should receive the bodies of the dead, as they are the only immortal creatures on the planet.

FAQ
How does the brain regulate the functions of the body?
To ensure that they work together, messages are sent by the brain to other organs. The brain controls everything that happens in your body. It tells your stomach how to digest food and your lungs how to inhale oxygen; it also tells your arms, legs and feet to move.
Your brain is made up billions of nerve cell networks connected in groups known as neurons. Action potentials on Axons are an electrical signal that neurons send to each other. Each neuron has a cell membrane surrounding its nucleus. The cell membrane houses channels that allow ions, such as potassium and sodium, to enter and exit the cells. Ion movement creates the electric charge that causes the neuron to fire.
When a neuron is activated, neurotransmitters release chemicals into the space between it and the next neuron. Neurotransmitters attach to the receptors of the second neuron and open ions channels for ions to pass in and out. As a result, second neuron fires as well.
Neurotransmitter release occurs when the presynaptic neuron receives an impulse from another neuron. An impulse travels along a synapse that connects the two neurons. The transmitter binds to the receptors on the postsynaptic neural cell, which triggers the firing of that neuron.
Communication within the nervous system is possible thanks to neurotransmitters. They also coordinate activity between different brain parts.
What is the most intriguing fact about the human anatomy?
Two eyes, two ears, 2 nostrils, 4 limbs, 1 nose, 1 penis and one mouth are all there. That's right, we have more than 50 parts of our bodies, but one thing is missing. A heart.
A heart is a pump, which circulates blood throughout our bodies. The blood moves through the arteries and veins to transport oxygen and nutrients into the cells, and remove carbon dioxide.
Each minute, the heart pumps 5 liters of blood. This is equivalent of an adult drinking 2 to 3 cups of coffee each day.
The blood flows throughout the heart 24/7, 365 days a calendar. While you are sleeping, your heart beats about 100 times per second.
Color of your skin is a good indicator of whether someone is healthy. Looking closely at the skin's surface, you can see tiny blood vessels called capillaries. These vessels carry blood back to the heart from the large blood vessels beneath the skin. If blood flow is blocked, skin can turn blue or purple.
People with sickle cell disease lack red blood cells. They become very sick when their blood becomes hardened and sticky.
If you cut yourself, a bandage is applied to stop the bleeding. The wound must remain open for blood to flow properly. To do this, doctors will insert a needle through your skin into the vein adjacent to the injury. This allows blood to drain from the area.
Doctors also insert tubes (catheters) into the artery near the site where the blood clot forms. This keeps the patient alive till the blood clot dissolves naturally.
What dark secrets can Hollywood keep from you?
Hollywood is filled secret societies. Many secret societies are cult-like and follow rigid rules. Others are just clubs for people with common interests.
Some of the most powerful organizations in the industry are even more dangerous. These include companies such as the MPAA (Motion Picture Association of America), which sets film ratings, and the RIAA (Recording Industry Association of America), which sets music licensing fees.
Numerous unions/guilds also represent actors and directors as well as writers, producers, and so forth. Most major movie studios and television networks are owned by large corporations which own these various organizations.
It doesn't matter how secretive a group might seem, someone somewhere knows what they are doing. We shouldn't fear these people.
Instead, we should embrace these facts. Because they help us make better choices.
These experts tell us which movies are most likely to succeed, which songs will be in demand, and what books will sell the best.
These help us to decide what we'll watch, read, listen, and buy.
We can trust them so we can ignore their advice when it doesn't suit our taste.
And because we've chosen to ignore them, they become even more powerful. They are the ultimate judges of taste.
And if you don't like what they say, you're free to ignore them.
Let's now take a look into some lesser-known but very real Hollywood secret societies.
And you'll understand why they're so crucial.
What is the most secretive town in the world?
The answer to that question may shock you. You might be uncomfortable with the truth of it, as it may challenge your perception of reality. But there is a reason why this place exists. And it is not what you would expect.
It was also called the City of God in ancient Greek. It was also known as the City of Destruction according to the Bible.
It is also called Kashi in India (Kashmir). In Russia, it's called Novgorod.
Here in America, however, it is called The Village That Disappeared.
One small New York State town with just 1,200 people vanished. A road sign pointing to the former location of the town was all that was left, except for a few bodies and cars.
This little community vanished and no trace remains to indicate where or when it disappeared. Some claim the earth swallowed it. Others say it was destroyed in a meteorite collision. Others claim it was taken away by aliens.
Despite what may have happened, the people who lived in this once-thriving area are confident that their town will not be lost forever. They had just moved to a new town.
There is even a website dedicated to tracking the disappearance of the lost city of Zugspitz.
So, where exactly did this town go? It's in Switzerland.
You can find Zugspitze at the border of Austria and Germany. The lake Lake Zugspitze is just beyond the mountain's summit.
It has always fascinated me that so many towns have disappeared, yet some still remain. Why do some disappear while others survive? I decided to investigate.
I was curious about the disappearing towns. What makes a town disappear? How can one place vanish from existence?
There are many theories to explain the phenomenon of disappearing towns. One theory says that a town disappears when all the buildings are demolished. Another theory says that the town just moves. The third theory is that the town was never actually there.
There are many theories, but the truth is that thousands of towns around the world have been submerged by the earth. This video examines the past and present status of these areas.

Hollywood scandals that stunned the world
There's nothing more shocking than watching someone become famous for the wrong reasons. But there's also nothing worse than seeing them fall from grace.
It's amazing to see how the industry responds to their mistakes. We have all heard of celebrities who overdosed on drugs and alcohol. Some even died young because of it.
But the worst part is when those same stars go public with their problems and are shunned by everyone. This is where we ended up last week.
Heath Ledger died after a long, successful career. He died after succumbing to prescription drugs.
His family and friends struggled to accept his passing, and the media had a field day bashing him publicly.
Heath was once considered to be one of today's most talented actors. His performance in Brokeback Mountain earned him two Academy Awards nominations.
Heath, in addition to acting, also wrote and directed films such as A Knight's Tale (Monster's Ball) and Iron Man (3).
Hollywood loved Heath, but he became too big for his britches. He began using drugs and drinking heavily. Eventually, he went to rehab and came out clean.
After he had gotten sober, he decided to make amends. He created a documentary called Room 237, which documented the making of The Shining. The film was originally supposed to be released in this year's theaters, but it will not make its way into the cinemas until next year.
Heath attempted to get into Hollywood every time. Heath was in fact arrested twice on drug charges.
Although we don't think Heath should be allowed to return to the showbiz, It would have been nice for him to have received some assistance before things spiraled outof control.
We hope Heath's story warns others who might think they can still have it all.
