The sizes of the bodies are different. If they both passed at roughly the same time and place, then the body with a higher temp is probably the larger one, and the cooler body is probably the smaller one.

Either that, or the warmer body was wearing darker/thicker clothes than the cooler one, or the shade of a tree just so happened to fall over one body but not the other, resulting in two different temperatures.

Hope this helped!
