My theory was the pig with the second degree burns would decompose the fastest. Based on my results, the fastest decomposing piglet was number six, the naked piglet placed on the blacktop. On day six it was completely decomposed and bones were spread out everywhere. My results also show that the naked piglets decomposed faster. The clothed piglets took the longest to decompose. The clothed suspended pig took the longest to decompose. I believe it took the longest to decompose because it was suspended and all of the insects that live in the ground couldn’t get to it. The fastest pig to decompose out of the piglet with a gunshot wound, knife wound, or died of natural causes was the piglet that died of natural causes. There were flies, maggots, and sweat bees surrounding the piglet’s body. There were a few of each insect on both of the suspended one. Piglets 2, 3, 6, and 7 had the most maggots, flies, insects, etc. There was a part of every piglet that looked like it was still alive and moving from the amount of maggots on the piglet. The grass under the decomposed pigs was yellowing. The grass surrounding 2, 3 and 5 was completely dead. The soil surrounding the piglets was starting to appear
