There are times when we may learn something about what happens to us after we die and we just can’t handle the truth. This recently happened when an autopsy technician posted a video about one body part that is always removed during an autopsy, and people can’t handle it.
It can be a rather frightening thought when you consider all that might happen during the time that you die and what may happen with your body after you die. People have a variety of ideas on the subject, but what happens to our physical body is no big secret.
After you die, your body is basically at the will of the autopsy technician. They will do what needs to be done to make sure that you didn’t die for any causes that would require additional intervention.
When somebody asked the autopsy technician what happened to piercings during an autopsy, that is when the truth came out. He said: “The only one that I take out is your tongue ring.”
He spoke about why this was necessary and the fact that other piercings will be left intact but the entire tongue is removed, so the ring comes out with it.
He said: “I remove your tongue during an autopsy – we need to make sure you didn’t bite down on it, make sure you don’t have drugs in the back of your throat,” he explained.
“So if you have a tongue ring, that one comes out, but nipples, nose, ears, eyebrows, private parts…”

After posting the video on TikTok, it accumulated hundreds of thousands of likes and more than 2.5 million views. Many of those who watched the video were shocked at the revelation.
Some of the comments were amusing and others were just expressing their disbelief at the reality of it all.
The technician also talked about how some days are busier than others. On one particular day, he did eight autopsies on a Monday afternoon.
That’s a lot of autopsies!
