William of Normandy did the same thing when he died. Died of an abcess in his abdomen that got infected. Died in the heat of summer. While they were transporting him to Canterbury, he started to smell pretty bad. When they got him there, he wouldn't fit in the coffin, he'd puffed up so badly from gasses. During the service (which I imagine they tried to keep really short, his stomach exploded.
Yuck.
