Murder, we wroteeee..

Here are the 4 last questions I were asked to answer for the project =)

4. What methods are commonly used to find the time of death?
The rate method (change of body temperature, putrefaction of the body, etc.)
The concurrence method (comparing the occuring of events.)

5. What factors are considered in Algor Mortis?
That the body has less than 24 hours of dead.
Body temperature
Place of dead. (In Australia de body temperature rises after dead.)
If you are going to put the thermometer in the rectum or abdomen.

6. How does the environment affect the time of death?
Like I said, in some places as in Australia, or in some extreme tropical regions, the body temperature may even rise after dead. Newton also said in his Cooling Law that the rate of coolimg of a body is determined by the difference between the temperature of the body and that of its environment.

7. What can you tell about the different methods of temperature reading of the body? Do they make a difference in the results?
I think they do have a difference because in the document i read, it said that you can use the method to get the body temperature as your convenience. Concurrence method is more convenient when we are talking about a dead body in an unestable climate. On the other hand, Newton's method is more convenient when the case is a dead body in a controlled environmental temperature.
