Actually, something that is freshly dead still
contains many "living" characteristics. For example, I
understand human fingernails and hair still grow for
some amount of time after death.
If you killed and then roasted a human being I somehow
doubt the fingernails would still be growing. I don't
know though. Maybe this should be put to experiment.
