A member asked:
Do you always urinate & defecate your self when you die? if so would there be a way to keep this from happening?

Not always: It depends on how the death occurs. I've been present at deaths where this did not happen, and some where it did. If it does happen, the dying person is not able to control it.

Urination: I don't think you would care about these things at that time.
