I recall reading some time ago that several experiments were conducted to test this with humans, and all gave null results. Don't recall the source, but it was most likely Skeptical Enquirer magazine, which debunks everything it can of that sort. Whatever the source, the evidence was so overwhelming I've long considered the matter settled.

Hi Jack, you wrote:

I heard from two independent sources that there was an experiment
performed in the 1920s or 1930s (don't know date) where patients in a
hospital near death were placed on a balance scale and experienced a
weight loss at the time of death although animals they tested did not.
Does anybody remember or can verify that experiment?
