can dead people survive in vacuum?

[Dyno]

Of course it is. And speaking of it, Wiss does it in the Movie 15.

The whole breathing in space debate in DB is always confusing if they can breath in space then how come they can't breath underwater?

Sure, they also don't need to eat. But that doesn't stop goku from eating.

It won't kill them, but they would want to.

How is this so? In a vacuum your blood both boils and freezes once it escapes your body.

Blood escaping your body will kill you on Earth.

I meant that your blood would escape after you being killed from the horrific boiling and once the blood is in space it then freeze. The blood escaping would take a couple of minutes I think.

I think it is said that you would only be able to survive in a vacuum for around a minute before your blood actually reaches the point where it would boil.

No, you only survive for a minute because that's how long you can go without breathing. The lack of oxygen kills you long before anything else has a chance to.

There have been studies gone into this that say a person may be able to hold off with the oxygen deprivation. But that it wouldn't matter because you would be killed by your blood boiling by that time. While it is much more likely that you will die from oxygen deprivation. That isn't the only thing that would kill you if you could hold it off.

Your point was "If you discount breathing, the human body is capable of surviving in a vacuum." Which isn't true. Because after a minute(Where you should have suffocated but in this scenario you wouldn't) you would be boiled by your own blood and then following that you would leak said blood while it freezes while trying to evaporate. So no, if you could bypass the "not being able to breath" part a human body is still going to die in the vacuum of space.
