Question

Several distinct changes take place in the body after a person dies; which one can tell us MOST about whether the corpse was moved?
1. rigor mortis
2. livor mortis
3. algor mortis
4. putrefaction

Answer 1

Answer:

2. liver mortis

Explanation:

This is a physical process. While the individual is alive, the heart circulates the blood. When death occurs, circulation stops and the blood begins to settle, by gravity, to the lowest portions of the body. This results in a discoloration of those lower, dependent parts of the body. Although beginning immediately, the first signs of livor mortis are typically seen about 1 hour following death, with full development being observed 2 to 4 hours following death.

Answer 2

Answer:

2. Livor Mortis.

Explanation:

The tannish markings standing out from the red markings helps to show if they have been moved from where they orginially had been laying.
