The Effect of Convection Air Currents on the Scale

A person may have small amounts of perspiration on the skin, but it doesn't suddenly evaporate at the moment of death. What's more, McDougal's patients would have been covered up by gowns and bed sheets or covers. There would not have been 10 to 45 grams of sweat released on the skin right at the time of death. Even if there was, those10 to 45 grams certainly would not evaporate into the air in an instant.
