When Robert’s corpse was placed inside of the funeral home, a loud noise was heard followed by an intense foul odor. The coffin was cement-lined, yet the force was powerful enough to rip open the coffin from the pressure. According to attorney Maria Perez, the dead body exploded due to not being embalmed. Gases built up as the decomposition process started to occur. This created enough force, to fragment the body inside into many pieces.
