Short, but sweet. Its great to see realism be applied from time to time in these stories. GTS authors have a tendency to portray their giantesses as immortal and able to escape the bounds of gravity or the limitations of Earth's atmosphere at extreme heights, so your story is a very rare example of what realistically would happen.... at least as far as her collapsing under her own weight is concerned.

I'm not sure if the process of her body rotting would be able to destroy the planet, though. I've read about these things called "whale falls" where when a whale dies in the ocean its corpse falls to the bottom and an entire ecosystem develops on and around that corpse, and lives on it where normally the ocean floor might be devoid of life. A whale fall can last for decades before it is finally used up by the ecosystem.

I suspect a Giantess corpse would be something along those lines, but if her size is measurable in miles then her corpse would probably last centuries or even millennia before it would finally rot away. Look at how many millions of years it takes for mountains to erode down. Of course flesh is softer than stone, but still...

Since the decay would be such a slow process the global ecosystem might be able to adapt to it. I think the worst thing would be the gases that her body would emit from the decay... these would greatly contribute to global warming and have severe consequences. Not sure if it would be enough to wipe out life, but its a possibility.

After hundreds or thousands of years her flesh will finally have rotted away, but her skeleton would still remain, and probably last there for millions of years more as a form of mountains looming over the landscape...

I suppose on a more positive note, she would serve as good compost and greatly enrich the soil in and around whatever area she happened to die. Crop yields and so on would probably benefit.
