Russian Scientist Photographs The Soul Leaving The Body
The timing of astral disembodiment in which the spirit leaves the body has been captured by Russian scientist Konstantin Korotkov, who photographed a person at the moment of his death with a bioelectrographic camera.
The image taken using the gas discharge visualization method, an advanced technique of Kirlian photography shows in blue the life force of the person leaving the body gradually.
According to Korotkov, navel and head are the parties who first lose their life force (which would be the soul) and the groin and the heart are the last areas where the spirit before surfing the phantasmagoria of the infinite.
In other cases according to Korotkov has noted that “the soul” of people who suffer a violent and unexpected death usually manifests a state of confusion in your power settings and return to the body in the days following death. This could be due to a surplus of unused energy.

Analysis:
These are interesting claims talking about a Russian scientist who seems to have taken photographs of a human Soul leaving a dead body. The messages usually come with couple of photographs purportedly taken by a bioelectrographic camera claiming to show the same. As discussed below, the claims, as such, are hoax, with some valid information.

About the Pictures
What are presented as bioelectrographic photographs showing the human soul leaving a dead body are actually pictures explaining blood circulation benefits of Infrared therapy in Sauna – as you can see in picture above. The story also comes with another picture showing a spirit leaving the dead body of a person, but again, it is just a picture of art depicting conscious living and conscious dying.
About the Claim
The origin of these stories appears to be an article on MosNews.com titled ‘Russian scientist photographs souls‘ published back in 2009.

The article does talk about the work of Konstantin Korotkov, the deputy director of the St. Petersburg Research Institute of Physical Culture and the developer of the gas-discharge visualization (GDV) technique in Kirlian photography. Kirlian photography is a collection of photographic techniques to capture an object’s aura. The GDV technique can be used for medical diagnostic and assessment purposes in humans. It was also reported that scientists (not Konstantin Korotkov alone) have taken GDV photographs of a person as he was dying. In the photos, they described that the life force of human (the purported soul) first left from the area of belly, then the head, the last to lose their life force were the heart and groin. The scientists using the GDV technique say that the aura of those who die violently or unexpectedly differs from those who die calmly. They also say that the ‘souls’ in the former case remain in a state of confusion for many days and return to their bodies frequently, especially at night.

You can read the related Korotkov’s experimental research on human body activity after death here. However, these studies are associated with the present pictures and are wrongly attributed as photographs taken while the soul leaves the dead body. These hoax stories are also used to promote books based on mind and soul. The pictures do not show human spirit leaving body in death moment.
