Did you know that there are some dead bodies in the world that never decayed, even after centuries? And no, I’m not talking about the Egyptian mummies. For extremely strange and completely unknown reasons, these 10 corpses never decayed. There were no measures taken to preserve these dead bodies, yet these people’s bodies remained the same as it were on the day they died!

6. St. Zita

St Zita died in 1272 in Italy. Her body was exhumed 300 years later, and it was found to be naturally preserved. It has been on display in the Basilica of San Frediano in Lucca, Italy ever since.
