Based on Casper's law, if all other factors are equal, the body that will decompose the fastest is a body lying on the ground. According to Casper's Law : if all other factors are equal, then, when there is free access of air a body decomposes twice as fast than if immersed in water and eight times faster than if buried in earth.
