In the Western Christian tradition, the hour between 3 and 4 a.m. was considered a period of peak supernatural activity – this time is also referred to as the “Devil’s hour” due to it being a mocking inversion of the time in which Jesus supposedly died, which was at 3 pm.

The femur is one of the most well-described bones of the human skeleton in fields ranging from clinical anatomy to forensic medicine. Because it is the longest and strongest bone in the human body, and thus, one of the most well-preserved in skeletal remains, it makes the greatest contribution to archaeology.

The points that are not easily accessible and/or not that sensitive:

• Ears(Cupping your hands and clapping on both ears together)
• Nape of neck (the first few cervical vertebrae)
• Chest area (especially in females)
• Loin area (where the kidneys are situated, just where ribs end on the back)
• Rear part of elbow joint.

According to a newspaper article and a research study, it appears your weakest time when you sleep is from 3 to 8 AM or so. This is when the most natural deaths occur. An asthma attack is 300 times more likely due to airways narrowing as adrenaline and anti-inflammatory hormones are at their lowest.

6 January

Originally Answered: What was the deadliest day in the world? The day with the most deaths in human history was 23 January 1556. That was the day of the Shaanxi earthquake in China, which killed about 830,000 people.

January, February, and December were the months with the highest average daily number of deaths (8,478, 8,351, and 8,344, respectively). June, July, and August were the months with the lowest average daily number of deaths (7,298, 7,157, and 7,158, respectively). Source: National Vital Statistics System.

However, it is interesting to know that complete population level mortality data for the period 2008 to 2010 had shown relatively similar estimates: median age at death is 81 years and most common age at death is 85 years.

Approximately half the remaining winter deaths are caused by respiratory disease, and these peak about 12 days after peak cold. The rapid coronary deaths are due mainly to haemoconcentration resulting from fluid shifts during cold exposure; some later coronary deaths are secondary to respiratory disease.

Older US adults die at higher rates in the winter, while seasonal differences in mortality have disappeared or declined for other age groups. In the USA, more deaths happen in the winter than the summer. But when deaths occur varies greatly by sex, age, cause of death, and possibly region.

The brain is the first organ to begin to break down, and other organs follow suit. Living bacteria in the body, particularly in the bowels, play a major role in this decomposition process, or putrefaction. This decay produces a very potent odor. “Even within a half hour, you can smell death in the room,” he says.

But there is no certainty as to when or how it will happen. A conscious dying person can know if they are on the verge of dying. Some feel immense pain for hours before dying, while others die in seconds. This awareness of approaching death is most pronounced in people with terminal conditions such as cancer.

How to Say Goodbye When Someone You Love is Dying

While the pre-active stage lasts for about three weeks, the active stage of dying lasts roughly three days. By definition, actively dying patients are very close to death, and exhibit many signs and symptoms of near-death.

Saying, “I forgive you” can clear the way for a deeper sharing of the remaining time. It can also give you a sense of peace following the person’s death. Due to defensiveness, a lack of understanding, or some other reason, the person may not be ready to acknowledge the deep hurt in your relationship.
