It takes about 24 hours for skin cells to die. In a coffin, bones and teeth become dry and brittle around 40 to 50 years later. When buried in a coffin, the coffin slows the process of decomposition.

Many factors prolong or decrease the rate of decay. Example, a corpse left out in the open on the Bonneville salt flats would take months longer to decompose than a corpse at the bottom of the sea. As indicated in the example above, humidity levels, insect and animal activity, and temperature are some of the major factors which effect the time required for a body to decompose.

The length of time it takes for a dead animal to decay an become only a skeleton will vary depending on a few things. The things that speed up the decaying process are the size of the animals, if other animals eat it, and weather.

it depends on the environment, age, gender, size and health of people but is usually around a week to a fortnight Dude it takes much longer than that...some bodys can last for years without decomposing enough for it to be a skeleton, but at the least it would be about a month month and a half.
