Odd, I don't know why antibiotic would give pause to rotting I believe the antibiotics kill many kinds of bacteria, including those that decompose organic matter. Yes, the environment plays a part. If it is inimical to bacteria that causes decomposition of organic matter, then the corpse remains "preserved" for a longer time. As for the bodies of some hospital patients beginning to decompose while being treated, I think that's because certain parts of their bodies had ceased to be supported by life-sustaining blood, and germs and bacteria in the not always sterile atmosphere had a chance to begin the decomposition. Recall gangrene as an extreme example. By the way, it has been observed that some highly spiritual persons' bodies remain in a state of perfect preservation after their death ("passing through transition" as the occultists call it). Three examples that come to mind are St. Francis Xavier, Ste. Catherine of Sienna and the famous Yogi for world peace, Yogi Paramahansa Yogananda. See excerpt and link:- On March 7, 1952, Paramahansa Yogananda entered mahasamadhi, a God-illumined master's conscious exit from the body at the time of physical death. His passing was marked by an extraordinary phenomenon. A notarized statement signed by the Director of Forest Lawn Memorial-Park testified: "No physical disintegration was visible in his body even twenty days after death....This state of perfect preservation of a body is, so far as we know from mortuary annals, an unparalleled one....Yogananda's body was apparently in a phenomenal state of immutability." yogananda-srf.org
