Is it true that when you die your hair still grows for a couple of months?

Creepy!

    no, its totally false

    it looks like it grows, but only because the skin dries and recedes, leaving more hair open to the air

    No, your skull shrinks giving the impression of growth.

    I've heard that it doesn't, your body shrinks and more of the hair is shown.

    yes it is.

    Your body also still generates gases for a couple of hours too, so dead people can often be heard groaning.
