Hi Sue,
I would expect there to be a much more reasonable explanation of a slight
weight loss upon death than that of the soul leaving the body. For one
thing, the soul is spiritual and would not have any weight. :) I'm sure
there are plenty of things that escape from the body when death occurs
that would account for a weight loss. It's probably best not to go into
detail.
But I wonder how anyone could study this since the weight loss would have
to be quite miniscule and the body would have to be weighed immediately
before and after death to get any data.
But I've never read any research on this subject.
