      As soon as you die you start to lose weight as bodily fluids start to dry up. If we do have souls I dont think they would weigh anything

      Hmmmm if we do then I don’t think it would weight anything. 6mg isn’t much admittedly, but you don’t lose weight, the second you die. When you dehydrate, then it goes.

      Good question, but I think 6mg is a very small weight, and it would be very hard to weigh someone just before and just after death to find out if that bit was true. And even if it was, it would be hard to link the loss of weight to a soul… I always thought they were supposed to be weightless anyway!
