And I'm not talking about autopsy videos or banned stuff, I'm talking about real life experiences...

Obviously I've seen gore, fatalities in traffic accidents and real executions videos but never live... The closest was the body of a guy laying on the concrete from a car accident, I was in a bus going in parallel with that car, but I'm not sure if he was dead...

The most interesting part to me is watching the color fade from their intestines. It’s actually very fast from pink to gray.

That's due to oxygen deprivation, right?

Yes. Without hemoglobin or myoglobin, flesh looks very dull. That's why packaged meat is treated with carbon monoxide, keeps it looking red.
