Question

a naked male corpse was found at 8 a.m. on Tuesday, July 9. The air temperature was already 26.7 degrees Celsius. The body exhibited some stiffness in the face and eyelids and had a body temperature of 34.4 degrees Celsius. Livor mortis was not evident. Approximately how long ago did the man die? CSI

Answer 1

With some missing context, I can partially answer this question. It was sometime recent, seeing that the body was still trying to function as if it was alive(blood is still flowing), The internal body temperature was 93ºF, 5º Lower than the regular temperature of 98º

I hope this helps, I am not entirely sure what the answer is but I was able to give you some background and biological evidence

Answer 2

Answer:

the man had died 9.87 hour ago.

Explanation:

The air temperature was 80.06°F

However, the body temperature was 93.92°F

The normal body temperature is 98.6°F

This evidence shows that the body temperature has not fallen to the temperature of surrounding air. Thus , the man must have died recently.

It is also given that there was no evidence of Livor mortis and also there was certain stiffness and in the face and eyelids. As we know the basic formula is

$0.78$ (°C/hour) $*$ (unknown number of hours) $=$ lost body temperature  

Substituting the given values in above equation,we get -

$0.78 * x = 34.4-26.7\\X = 9.87$ hours

Thus, the man had died 9.87 hour ago.
