A corpse passes gas both through their mouths and/or rectums. Just like when the Person was alive gasses build up inside their bodies and will release through the mouth/rectum. This is why most Funeral Homes will actually sew shut the inside of the deceased's mouth to try to prevent this from happening during a Wake, Viewing, or Funeral.
