Well, gee, I was hoping somebody out there would come up with a real
citation, but that hasn't happened.  I saw a short note on the subject
in the Seattle Times a while back.  As I recall, they had patients on
beds which incorporated sensitive scales (these are primarily for use
with patients with critical needs to monitor water retention and loss).
The scales showed a weight loss on the order of fractions of an ounce
at the moment of death.  They did the same with dogs, and no such
weight loss was recorded.
