I know this sounds silly, but a friend insists that she read "somewhere"
that "reliable" experiments have been done to show that the body unaccountably
loses weight when it dies.  She seemed to think that this might be 
evidence for the existance of the 'soul'.  

Has anyone ever heard anything about this.  
Is it possible that she got this anywhere but from the National
Enquirer?  She claims that it was Science, or Nature, or some such journal!
Where is she reading this hogwash?
