1. Is my loved one really dead?
A. well technically yes, while Zombies do move around a bit and make noises they are actually dead, but the virus in them which causes this zombie effect is still alive and causing these motor functions.
2. Can my loved on be saved?
A. NO, see above, unfortunately the person you knew is dead, just the body continues to function for a short time.
3. What causes "zombieism"
A. Primarily the continued motor function of the corpse is caused by the Z virus within. How long a corpse can remain functioning depends on how much food with preservatives they have consumed over thier lifetime. The more "preserved" a body the longer the virus is able to keep it functioning.
