The process: Second Part of questions

4. What methods are commonly used to find the time of death?
Using body temperature, using rigor mortis, algor motis and by the insects that hatch in the dead body

5. What factors are considered in Algor Mortis?
Respiration, body temperature, and temperature of the environment

6. How does the environment affect the time of death?
By changing the body temperature, turning it as temperature of the environment. Newton’s law of cooling says that it will cool as the temperature it has the body and the temperature that is in the environment.When the body’s temperature changes it makes more difficult to get the exact time of death.

7. What can you tell about the different methods of temperature reading of the body?
Do they make a difference in the results?Some of them are very effective and others are not very exact. The difference they have is that some can be useful just some hours after death, others until the second day like the one of the insects that hatch.
