Originally I thought that the piglet buried would be the one to decompose faster. I thought this because of worms and other type of bugs would be able to eat them however, this was disproven. Accordingly the one to decompose faster was the natural piglet. The reasoning is that within the body farm is that on day 8 it was almost completely gone with very little bones while the burnt piglets’ bones were mostly gone.
