I've read moments in which the coroner/pathologist declares the victim dead at a specific time, such as 10:05 pm. Uh . . . no—not unless someone was there with a stopwatch.
According to Gary here; A dead body will naturally adjust the temperature (Algor) to achieve equilibrium with its surroundings and will display time-telling factors, such as muscle stiffening (rigor), blood settling (livor), color (palor), and tissue breakdown (decomp). The presence of toxins also affects body changes. Cocaine amplifies the mortis process, while carbon monoxide retards it. Be careful in getting your forensic guru to commit on specific time.
Like no dude, your super genius forensic pal won't just tell ya that he died at a full moon when the planets were all aligned except for uranus (ha!) and when the cuckoo trilled the first notes of the death song while the crow cawed.
