Ahhh, Occam's razor.
I like that advice.
The only dissenting information I've encountered is this Doctor from 1901 named Duncan MacDougall.
He stated that the body loses 21 grams when it dies. (I can't post a link. D: )
I don't think that in 1901, that there was sufficient technology to eliminate variables.
The body chemistry also changes after death. (Rigor mortis and similar processes)
So, to me, it doesnt sound very plausible.

Humanity has become too complacent, the only limits which exist are the limits we create.
