Mixed
The text states that body decomposition to a skeleton in ordinary soil can take about a year, and a skeleton can take eight to twelve years to decompose.
Infact verdict: Mixed (56/100).
The claims regarding decomposition times are not supported by the evidence. Both claims suggest different timelines for decomposition, but the evidence consistently indicates that a body buried without a coffin in ordinary soil typically takes eight to twelve years to decompose into a skeleton. This contradicts the first claim and supports the second claim. Therefore, the first claim is rated as false, while the second claim is rated as true based on the evidence provided.
