    rigor mortis time of onset depend upon many variables thus reducing its value is estimating time of death.At
    15 degree c Iis likely to present in eyelids with in 3-4 hrs and goes distally fully established in 10-12 hrs persists for another 12-24 hrs and starts to pass off
    onset slows in winter , ACCELERATED IN HOT CLIMATE AT 27 DEGREE it fully develop in 6-7 hrs

    the dead body approches the enviornment temp slowly , at 9-12 hrs it surface is cold to touch and in 24-30 hrs the organs reach temp of surrounding .a USEFUL APPOX IS THAT AFTER FIRST 3 HRS THE TEMP FALL 1-5 DEGREE C / HR
    cooling is slow in obese. death is due to asphyxia , fever and when temp is high.
    silly tmz should have consult some doctor brfore creating that confusion THERE ARE ALOT OF WAYS TO ESTIMATE THE CORRECT TIME OF DEATH .
