Description:
Dr. Duncan MacDougall was an early 20th century doctor in Haverhill, Massachusetts who sought to measure the weight purportedly lost by a human body when the soul departed the body upon death. In 1907, MacDougall weighed six patients while they were in the process of dying. He took his results (a varying amount of perceived weight loss in most of the six cases) to support his hypothesis that the soul had weight, and when the soul departed the body, so did the weight.
