that depends on environment.  a warm, humid environment will deteriorate a corpse much faster than a cool, dry one.  For instance, extremely well preserved remains have been found high in mountainous regions thousands of years old.  But a body left in a swampy region will be extremely deteriorated within a matter of days or weeks.

You can call your local county/city library and ask to speak with records (may be called something else, it varies from city to city. \n\nThere you can speak to customer service and ask them questions regarding deceased/still living. \n\nSomething similar happened to me. I didn't have the social security, all I had was a name. So long as you have a name and maybe where the person lives (lived), the county and so forth, they (the records person) should give you some assistance to at least say if she is still around.

There are two steps, embalming and wrapping:\n\nEmbalming\nStep 1: \nFirst, his body is taken to the tent known as 'ibu' or the 'place of purification'. There the embalmers wash his body with good-smelling palm wine and rinse it with water from the Nile. \n\nStep 2: \nOne of the embalmer's men makes a cut in the left side of the body and removes many of the internal organs. It is important to remove these because they are the first part of the body to decompose. \n\nThe liver, lungs, stomach and intestines are washed and packed in natron which will dry them out. The heart is not taken out of the body because it is the centre of intelligence and feeling and the man will need it in the afterlife.\n\nA long hook is used to smash the brain and pull it out through the nose. \n\nStep 3: \nThe body is now covered and stuffed with natron which will dry it out. All of the fluids, and rags from the embalming process will be saved and buried along with the body.\n\nStep 4:\nAfter forty days the body is washed again with water from the Nile. Then it is covered with oils to help the skin stay elastic. \n\nStep 5:\nThe dehydrated internal organs are wrapped in linen and returned to the body. The body is stuffed with dry materials such as sawdust, leaves and linen so that it looks lifelike. \n\nStep 6:\nFinally the body is covered again with good-smelling oils. It is now ready to be wrapped in linen.\n\nCanopic Jars:\nIn the past, when the internal organs were removed from a body they were placed in hollow canopic jars. \nOver many years the embalming practices changed and embalmers began returning internal organs to bodies after the organs had been dried in natron. However, solid wood or stone canopic jars were still buried with the mummy to symbolically protect the internal organs. \n\nImsety the human-headed god looks after the liver. \nHapy the baboon-headed god looks after the lungs\nDuamutef the jackal-headed god looks after the stomach \nQebehsenuef the falcon-headed god looks after the intestines\n\nSecond Half - Wrapping:\nStep 1:\nFirst the head and neck are wrapped with strips of fine linen. Then the fingers and the toes are individually wrapped\n\nStep 2:\nThe arms and legs are wrapped separately. Between the layers of wrapping, the embalmers place amulets to protect the body in its journey through the underworld. \n\nA priest reads spells out loud while the mummy is being wrapped. These spells will help ward off evil spirits and help the deceased make the journey to the afterlife. \n\nStep 3:\nThe arms and legs are tied together. A papyrus scroll with spells from the Book of the Dead is placed between the wrapped hands. \n\nStep 4:\nMore linen strips are wrapped around the body. At every layer, the bandages are painted with liquid resin that helps to glue the bandages together. \n\nStep 5:\nFinally, a large cloth is wrapped around the entire mummy. It is attached with strips of linen that run from the top to the bottom of the mummy, and around its middle. \nA board of painted wood is placed on top of the mummy before the mummy is lowered into its coffin. The first coffin is then put inside a second coffin. \n\nStep 6:\nThe funeral is held for the deceased and his family mourns his death. \n\nStep 7:\nA ritual called the 'Opening of the Mouth' is performed, allowing the deceased to eat and drink again. \nFinally, the body and its coffins are placed inside a large stone sarcophagus in the tomb. Furniture, clothing, valuable objects, food and drink are arranged in the tomb for the deceased. \n\nNow his body is ready for its journey through the underworld. There his heart will be judged by his good deeds on earth. If his heart is found to be pure he will be sent to live for all eternity in the beautiful 'Field of Reeds'. \n\n\nFor pictures of the process, canopic jars and more information:\nhttp://www.ancientegypt.co.uk/mummies/story/main.html

No, not without a body to accompany it. Blood on the floor doesn't necessarrily indicate death either.\nYou can however deduce how long the blood has been exposed to air for (i.e ou of the body for) and then hence determine when a person began to bleed.\n\nJ
