Hair & Death

[Freejack00]

Is it true that hair continues to grow after death? I find it hard to believe that it does.

No, it is not correct. Nor is it correct for fingernails. The truth is, that after death the skin retracts, particularly around fingernails, and makes them appear to be longer. A similar sort of occurance might be true for hair, but it's definately true for fingernails.
