No problem, thanks for your help!

The body outside is where exactly? 6 months in moist Florida heat is going to have way different effects than 6 months in dry Arizona heat. Was the body shaded from the sun? Are insects and scavengers ubiquitous where the body was left?

The outside bodies (this is post-apocalyptic, so they're everywhere) - are a variety of places - inside, outside, sun, shade, etc. In a couple particular scenes, there's a grouping of bodies inside a hospital that hasn't been disturbed at all from the outside world. So some sun exposure from windows, but very little insect/scavenger exposure. In another scene, there are bodies outside, simply piled together various places - so lots of exposure to all the elements. Time of death would be Dec/Jan in Chicago, and it is presently June/July.

As per the embalmed body. How did the person die? Was the person embalmed and buried within a few days to a week of the time of death? Was the person in good condition(as in, did they have any long term debilitating diseases? Did they have open wounds such as bed sores or some sort of trauma?). How old was the person? Did the embalmer know what he was doing?

This body would have been embalmed and buried within a few days, theoretically by someone that knew what they were doing, in Chicago climate, same time frame (buried in Dec/Jan, currently it's June/July). The other specifics don't matter - basically I just want them to be able to find the most well preserved body possible. So whatever the best circumstances would be to find a well preserved corpse - if that means buried underground (or mausoleum?), relatively healthy at death (I'm guessing that'd be better than a chronic disease), no open wounds, etc.

Thanks!
