A member asked:

What is reason a persons face and neck swell after they die?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No reason: The people who I have seen die, had medical complications that caused swelling prior to death, but I have no experience of seeing swelling after death. Not really a health issue is it? (we are talking immediately? Without exposure to warmth and time?).

Dr Sparacino agreed
