How common is evacuating bowels during death?

I’ve been a cop for 25 years, and I’ve seen a LOT of dead bodies. Mostly natural deaths, plenty of suicides and traffic accidents, and a couple of homicides. I’ve seen evacuation of the bowels only on a few cases.

I would guess that you must be just ready to head to the bathroom when the Reaper taps you on the shoulder for it to happen.

Now I understand why some inmates on death row order really ridiculously big last meals! Kind of a final “fuck you” to the world.

Depends, if the time frame between dinner and killing is not too long, the “fuck you” would be to the poor ones who do the autopsy.

Autopsy? As in, “let’s examine the corpse of the prisoner we just put 2,500 volts through, and see if we can figure out why he died!”?
