What would happen if a days-old zombie took a shower?

I feel like water would make it bloat up but at the same time I don't know. Thoughts? :>

Depends on whether the animating force also preserves the zombie's flesh. If it's only been a few days, a strong shower probably won't do anything, but.any longer and a particularly decayed walker may start to come apart.

Ah, it's parasitic wasp larvae. Fun stuff.

Man, I'm imaging a tombstone with an obituary as "Double death by shower." Thanks xD

So this zombie walks into an emergency room.

"Doctor!" he moans. "I was having my morning stroll when my dick fell off. Please, you've got to sew it back on."

He extends his hand. The doc takes one look and says, "That's a cigar."

The zombie screams. "Then what did I just smoke?"

I don't think it would be that affected. I mean it takes quite a while for bodies dumped in water to be affected?

If it's a reeally long shower I guess the skin and damaged parts of the body might fall off/change?

The drain would get clogged

If this is for research purposes, I feel American Gods pulled off what might happen quite well. It was with a bath but I think the same principles apply.

I imagine that the zombie's skin would peel off from the force of the shower as well as the drain getting clogged. And also, depending on how the person became a zombie in the 1st place, if there are any wounds (that would've become big gaping holes by now), I think the zombie would have to worry about water entering their body through those wounds and causing it to bloat.

So many interesting answers * - *
These are all great and helpful in the writing process!

Man, there should be a book of zombie pun―wait, I could probably do this
