[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 341464, member: 1963"] Dead and dieing people do turn blue--it's called cyanosis and comes from lack of blood flow/oxygen to the tissues. My late husband had severe respiratory difficulties from the blood disorder that finally killed him. His lips, nails, gums, etc., went cyanotic and his skin went greyish when he was in trouble. I was with him when he died and watched the cyanosis spread as his body shut down. The mucus membranes went a deep purple and his skin turned greyish blue. Also, if you have the worst type of fish/shellfish allergy, even smelling them can bring on anaphylactic shock. (remember that odors are actually molecules of whatever you are smelling). Brings back sad and unpleasant memories, but yeah, I've seen it happen. [/QUOTE]
