The Effect of Euthanasia on Weight Loss

In the 1990s Lou Hollander wanted to replicate Dunkin McDougal's experiment, but instead of doing it with people. He euthanized animals that were destined for slaughter and used special scales to weigh whether they lost weight or not. What he found was there was a change in weight at the time of death also. And I believe it was about anywhere from between 20 to about 45 grams that were difference that was a difference here. It's more than an ounce that they gained in weight.
