kihermetizálódás

Hungarian to English Medical Medical (general)
This is a work of fiction, not written by a medical expert, so it may be inaccurate.
A doctor is talking about disfigured dead bodies recovered from a plane crash.
He seems to be saying that because of the circumstances of the crash or explosion, the people's clothes disintegrated, leaving them naked. The doctor says:
A kihermetizálódás miatt meztelenek
Is this something that really happens? If so, what's it called in English?

Actually, I do not know whether or not a RAPID depressurization (sudden loss of cabin pressure) could cause disintegration of passengers' clothes.
