Newton's Law of cooling is
where
T(t) = temperature of the body after t hours, 80 °F
= ambient temperature, 65 °F
= normal body temperature, assumed to be 98.6 °F
The elapsed time since death is obtained from
4.142 hours before 2 am is 9:52 pm (the previous day) approximately.
Answer: 9:52 pm the previous day.
