Q. What do blue lips mean after death?
Doctor Answer is medically reviewed by SecondMedic medical review team.
A blue lip after death may mean that the person died of a lack of oxygen.
When someone dies, their heart stops beating and they can no longer breathe. This lack of oxygen causes the lips to turn blue. Other symptoms of a lack of oxygen include bluish skin, cool skin, and sluggish movement.
