If you died immediately after reading this, how long would it take before somebody found you?



Really depends. It could be tomorrow AM when I don't show up or answer the phone. Or it could go until I start decomposing and really stinking up the place.

Approximately 0.5 seconds as the person in the cube behind me would undoubtedly notice.

My boss and I face each other from across the room. He'd know immediately.

Probably pretty fast. I'm on I-270 right now. The first person I crash into would find me.

They'd know but would they tell anyone?

Well my 9month old daughter would see it immediately. The dog would likely dry hump me.
As for someone who'd know what was going on. It'd be another 5 hours or so before my wife would be home.

About a half hour when my fiance wakes up and walks into the living room where I'm watching TV.

My girlfriend would know as soon as she caught a whiff of the smell, because South Park taught us we all shit ourselves when we die.

bump

It would probably be a few days for myself I'm guessing.

At work, so it probably wouldn't take long. Whenever someone feels the need to talk to me or just walks by.

Now, whether anyone acts on that is a different story, but at least they'd know!

Sounds just like here. No one would notice (or care) if you dropped dead.
