Two Minutes on Pallor Mortis 

When I worked in a nursing home I unfortunately witnessed the death experience quiet often and more times then I can count. In some of our patients their dark brown eyes began turning blue shortly before death. I always knew that after that happened that death was near.

I noticed this on my dad after he passed at home, a thin film on his usually brown eyes, made them appear blue, thanks for the explanation.

I so enjoy your videos, Kari. They are informative and interesting. If I am unable to return to my nursing career in obstetrics, I will seriously consider the funeral industry. The two big transitions in our lives, birth and death, have always been fascinating to me.

Thank you for your videos, Kari. They are so informative and you have inspired me to pursue mortuary school after I complete my undergrad.

I was already happy that today is my last day at work before vacation and the notification that you made a new video made me even happier!!!!🙂

Another very interesting video. Thanks Kari!

Very educational, I never heard of Pallor Mortis. Thank u

Thanks kari for sharing i really enjoy you're videos

Hi Kari:) hey don't know if you covered this yet....could you do. A 2 minute maybe on the subject of Pallbearers......who they are and what they do and the importance of their role during the funeral service......I've been one for about a dozen or so funerals.....always an honor:) thanks....btw heaviest casket I carried was a beautiful bronze casket with swingbars....that casket was heavy....

Love your videos!! Absolutely fascinating stuff

Interesting. Thank you.

Hi Kari! I have never seen a person die but my mom has and she says that the film you talk about starts to show a little before they actually die. Very good explanation... I am starting to show her your videos... Very educational!

Thanks Kari, very interesting, as always! : )

Thanks Kari:) something new learned:)

I love your videos❤️❤️

I'm an old nurse 😄😄. I've seen lot's. Of death but , when my husband died , it seemed like his body looked like it was made out of wax. I had never noticed that before ; I mean immediately after death. Maybe , because of the close connection, I was just more observant. Your thoughts. Thank you.

🎶and don’t it make my brown eyes blue

Thank you for your videos and all you do. Certainly easing our fear of what is ultimate. Wow. I never knew eyes turn blue.

Nice presentation

What is the film over the eyes made up of?

Very informative and under 2 minutes, a lot of things i had been wondering about u answer them in ur videos. Thanks

Very interesting stuff.

Is that what causes wrinkles on the face.as my dad was dying he looked younger. No wrinkles at all

How does it affect the eyes of being donors? I have three amazing gifts

Hey!! Kari...great radio show:) really enjoyed that! Good for you:)

I have never heard of this term so thanks for teaching me something new today 😊

Would you do an open-eye viewing if requested (and after you explain what the eyes will look like)?

So pollormoris is the whitening of the skin. If in a cold climate will that process be slowed down. It sounds like you had to take a lot of anatomy.

I was with my grandmother as she died. This process of pallor Morris actually started before her heart stopped beating. It began first in her feet and then became noticeable in her hands. Is that the same thing or another process?

I’ve always wished I’d been born with blue eyes. I get my wish one day! LOL

I love video❤❤❤

I have heard a couple of people say when their loved ones died, their faces turned grey. I guess that is pallor mortis?

Kari, can you tell me when exactly may a body void urine upon death? 1 minute? 5? 15? Thank you.

The best of its kind on youtube. Thank you. But how does pallor mortis appear for people with darker skin? Thank you.

have you ever been scared doing your job

Looks like lot of us Nurses watch you. Been involved in many many deaths of all kinds. As a person is dying we can tell by the mottling of their toes, feet, gradually working its way, lower legs...Will see early mottling back, etc...Is this considered pre Pallor Mortis? Weve only defined in clinical terms, but is there another name by chance?

How long does this stage last before it turns blue(?) or something else happens? Or does the body stay pale?

How does the film or cloudiness of the eyes occur?

This is great information!

👍👍

Another question...The covering of the cornea. .With Donor Harvesting. Ive been in a few, does that happen with artificial ventilation? and with cornea removal? Thanks..

Interesting. Do most people die with their eyes open.

How do we ask you questions? I would like to know about the “cuddle cot “...I just recently heard about it and wanted to know what you thought about it? Love your videos

Interesting thank you

👍👍👍😎☕

How I look when I first wake up in the morning 😣

The dead person's skin will start to look pasty and also the lips depending on skin color like my dad's skin he's white but got that Blackfoot Indian skin color his lips turn dark purple not blue..

Is this the same as liver mortis?
