Oh my the search for a soul. I used to believe in souls and was soundly mocked for holding that belief on this forum, and rightly so. Souls are a laughable thing.

Anyway, I did some research to arrive at my current belief. I found Duncan MacDougall and his soul experiments:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duncan_MacDougall_(doctor)

http://www.snopes.com/religion/soulweight.asp

Ultimately even if the body rapidly loses 21 grams(more or less) of weight upon death it doesn't mean there necessarily is a soul.

Anyway, my favorite video regarding soul is this catchy ditty:
