The answer

What happens to the body at death, such as the excretion of urine and the like, is not evidence of anything and may be a natural consequence of the patient's bodily changes. Scholars have recommended covering the deceased and placing something fragrant nearby to conceal unpleasant odors. The agony of death or the emission of odor are not evidence of a bad ending.
