Yes, but I didn't recall you saying that the weight change, when
it
occurred, took longer to happen. Something that happens hours
after
someone dies can still happen in only a few seconds.

Read MacDougall's paper.

That paper does not say if the later weight changes were sudden or
gradual. And if you read the balance a few minutes later you just
don't know. Probably he was so focused on the moment of death that he
paid too little attention to post mortem changes, and that is one of
the reasons for the too low quality of that study.

It seems quite clear to me.

Of course it does, but that's not worth much. Anything which confirms
your bias "seems clear" to you...
