Top Comments of this video!! :3
Grave robbing was often done for medical schools since there weren't any other ways to legally obtain bodies. In fact, this was such a normal part of life for anatomists of the day that medical students would file complaints when people asked them or tried to stop them from graverobbing. Eventually states started making it legal to dissect unclaimed bodies for education in the early to mid 19th century, but generally grave robbing was not about stealing off the corpse, it was more to sell the body itself.

So excited to see the theories, commentary, and Ryan and Shane's ongoing divorce

Shane would definitely be The Leatherman if he lived back then. He pulled of the look really well in the episode.

not even a minute into the video and I´m already dying at Shane´s "WHat?" after Ryan telling him he thinks Shane would be in prison back in the day

Shane believes it wouldn’t be grave robbing because that’s usually to steal valuables. It was brought up that almost everyone who about the Leather man thought he was hiding a secret treasure or had many riches and jewels in his shacks he lived in..and many people ransacked them looking for his valuables💀

Learning Shane and Ryan don’t do the research themselves felt like finding out Santa isn’t real

When Shane has finished sassing me:
Grave robbing was also done as a means of furthering our understanding of anatomy too. Being able to say that they had the real Leatherman would have drawn the attention of surgeons and academics in certain circles. It doesn't necessarily mean that they took his body for the valuables.

A couple of us mentioned this in the comments of the first video on this topic but bones are biodegradable, especially in highly acidic environments. Taphonomy is a field of archaeology (the field of study I'm involved in) that is focused on how sites/burials react to the conditions they were left in. Every burial is different. In some cases, bones can dissolve in short periods of time (10-30 years). Given this, it's very possible that the organic components of the Leatherman's burial were dissolved over time given the acidity of the soil. It'd be pretty cool if the Watcher crew were able to involve archaeologists/their interpretations in their mysteries, I think it'd be a great way to introduce people to the field (:

so many people want to talk about the practice of exhuming bodies for medical study but no one wants to talk about how the people who dug up these bodies were called resurrection men, which is very cool and i think more people deserve this knowledge

When I lived and went to school in philadelphia, there was an unhoused man who liked to spend time around the broad and walnut Wawa, who we affectionately referred to as Popcorn Man because he regularly was noshin on a big bag of it. Nice dude. We would get him coffee and give him cigs and stuff. Hope he is doing well <3

Ryan going ham over the semantics of Disney adult needs to be its own YouTube short

Ryan, it’s called green burial! Traditional burial (the thing Shane referred to with the big pillowy casket) is really bad for the environment, especially when you take into account all of the formaldehyde used in embalming. I could get into the history of the bizarre relationship that western society has with death, but eco-friendly options are becoming more mainstream, especially as legislation gets passed allowing for options like alkaline hydrolysis (aquamation) and NOR (natural organic reduction, also known as body composting) become more widely available. As for the wicker caskets, they usually are lined with some sort of biodegradable fabric, so the dirt isn’t just falling on you (at least not right away).
Personally, I’m all for it, and I would love an eco-friendly option when I die. Using less water, raging at paper straws, etc.? That’s not always easy. Being dead and doing nothing while decomposing? Requires no effort. It’s kind of a no-brainer as far as I’m concerned.

I miss watching you guys play D&D with Katie and Steven... mostly I miss seeing Katie, tell her we love her

About the graverobbing theory, I think it's probably one of the most likely. Back in the 19th century, it was very common for grave robbers to dig up bodies not only for the valuables they were buried with, but also to sell the body to medical schools in order to use them to learn about the human body. It was very hard to come across bodies students could dissect and they would often have to resort to using the corpses of executed criminals to study. Perhaps something similar happened to the leather man.

First, a grave robber may have dug him up and sold him, not because he was; The Leatherman but because any body sold to a doctor or academic institution for anatomy research made you a decent bit of money. Secondly, I want to be buried in a wicker casket, it's called a green burial. The idea is that everything, including the coffin will decompose so it's better for the environment. If you don't like wicker you can also get reed, hemp, bamboo, plain wood...the list goes on. You have options 😅

What I wouldn’t do to receive an email signed “love Steven Lim” 💔

Acidic soil can definitely dissolve bodies. An example from the UK would be the Prittlewell Anglo-Saxon Prince. They found all his metal grave goods but the soil dissolved the body - except tiny fragments of tooth enamel. Would definitely think graverobbing a likely explanation though.

I’d love to see y’all collab with Caitlin Doughty on a post mortem
