If a woman being 4 months prégnant with twins have one of them dead. Does the corpse of that twin keep growing? Is it possible to have the corpse out before term. Or if the corpse is there, does it affect the other fetus? Does it rotten?

An interuterine fetal demise will not grow much further. Depending on the gestation you can either have a selective reduction in which one is removed (so long as they have their own gestational sac, some twins share one) or have it delivered at the same time as the live fetus. The risk of “rot” or infection of the dead fetus is very small.
