Did Jesus decompose?

[Mister Agenda]

Taken at face value, Jesus 'gave up the ghost' far more quickly than most crucifixion victims, and raises the question of whether he was really dead when taken down or just comatose (and that raises the question of why the Romans would have let him be taken down instead of left to rot as was their custom).

Also, Jesus seemed to have a tough time being recognized by those who knew him after he was supposed to have risen from the tomb, which raises the question of an imposter.

And that's assuming the whole thing isn't just a myth or a gross distortion of what actually happened.
