algor mortis









































algor mortis (latin: "algor"—coldness; "mortis"—of death), the second stage of death, is the change in body temperature post mortem, until the ambient temperature is matched. this is generally a steady decline, although if the ambient temperature is above the body temperature (such as in a hot desert), the change in temperature will be positive, as the (relatively) cooler body acclimates to the warmer environment. external factors can have a significant influence.
algor mortis
among coroners and other investigators, such as homicide and forensic detectives, livor mortis is not considered an exact way to measure time of death, but instead is a way to approximate it. livor mortis, along with algor mortis, rigor mortis, and practices such as forensic entomology are frequently combined by investigators to more accurately pinpoint the estimated time of death.
