Why would you want to know this... planning on being dead and don't want to be in a used bag? They probably do reuse them after a washing. lol

Just a guess, but probably not. I would think if they reused them there would be a risk of contaminating evidence (if the death was under investigation) even if you washed them.

Isn't this kind of like using an alchohal swab for the IV needle during a lethal injection execution? What's the point if he gets an infection or not?

I believe that most body bags used by coroners, etc. are disposable.

They use a new one.

"A brand new body bag is used for each body. This is to ensure that only evidence from that body is contained within the bag. Body bags are closed and sealed to prevent any contamination or evidence loss during transportation"

I listen to a radio show each day on my commute to work, and they actually talked about this for over an hour. It was too funny to hear some of the things that they were coming up with.

Correction, made you go HUMMMM. OMG. I was just thinking you must really be bored- or sick - to ask a question like that. Then I realized I must be even more bored or - sick - to read the thread and post a response. I must reevaluate my priorities soon. Very soon!
