This is the stage in decomposition when livor, rigor, and algor mortis occur.

This stage of decomposition is mostly due to the activities of microorganisms; first intestinal flora, then saprophytic bacteria and fungi.

This stage of decomposition is when the body may form a wax layer known as the adipocere.

This stage of decomposition is recognizable by a loss of everything on the body but dried up bone

This stage of decomposition is recognizable by a great loss in mass, due largely to feedings by maggots and other insects. Parts of flesh may be black and corpse gives off an even stronger odor.
