body loses 3/4 oz. at death

There's a study out there that proves the body loses 3/4 oz. of weight at the instant of death. Has anyone heard of this study? Does anyone know where to find its publication? If anyone believes in these results, do you know if it's been replicated? If you believe in these results, do you have any other explanation other than the "soul" leaving the body?

Yes someone did a "study." Perhaps more than one study was done.

 

Alternate explanation: the beam scale Dr. MacDougall used was limited in accuracy and precision by the motion of the patient before death, and four data points does not a conclusive study make.
