1. a. He was approximately dead for 5 hours. b. The body starts at 98.6 and decreases 1 degree per hour c. Yes, because clothing helps keep a body warm- helps accelerate rigor mortis. A naked body cools faster- slows down rigor mortis

2. a. Between 36-48 (or more) b. Because livor mortis is permanent by 8 hours. and than rigor mortis ends between 36-48 hours. It could be more, because water slows down the process.

3. Rigor mortis wasn't evident which means that the body had to be dead between 36-48. And that makes sense that the man had been dead for 48 house because liver mortis is permanent from 8 hours on. so it makes sense.

4. a. egg: minutes after death, larva 1: 24 hours, larva 2: 60 hours, larva 3: 96-120 hours, Pupa: 192-288 hours, Adult: 432-576 hours. b. egg and larva 1: a day, some adults and some pupae: between 8-20 days or so, some larva 2 and larva 3: between 2-5 days

5. No, it couldn't be the person, because pupae arrives between 8-12 days after the eggs were laid. So if he was filed 2 days ago, the only thing that could be there would be eggs- larva stage 2.

6. It would have to be day 9. Because that day is when all the different types of insects were shown to be apparent on the body.
