Answer:

Lysosomes

Explanation:

Death is a process that consists of different phases that lead to the decomposition of the body. One of the first phases, which occurs minutes after death, is the process known as autolysis, which begins once the cells are deprived of oxygen.

During autolysis, the body's enzymes begin to digest the membranes of the cells, breaking down the whole cells. This process is initiated by organelles known as lysosomes, which are in charge of releasing these enzymes that are involved in the 'digestion' of the human tissues.
