1. If a body was found with no evidence of rigor, the estimated time of death would be 36-48 hours prior, or 0-2 hours right after death
 * __Activity 11.1__**
 * Part A**

2. The time of death would have been about 12 hours, since the whole body had rigor

3. Estimated time of death would be 2-6 hours before

4. The time of death would be approximately 15 to 36 hours before

5. Time of death would be 2 to 6 hours before

6. 1 to 3 hours ago would be the time of death because exercising would make the process go faster 7. The time of death would be around 15-17 hours. The victim was frail so they were thin, there was warm temperature also. This speeds up rigor, and it was in all places but her face and neck.
 * Part B**

8. The victim was missing for two days, so they probably did not get much sleep, and they were placed in cold temperatures. Both of these factors slow down rigor, so the time of death was most likely 14 hours before the finding

9. The victim was obese and placed in cold temperatures, so the rigor was slowed down tremendously, making the time of death around 5 hours ago

10. The time of death would have been around 28 hours because she had been exercising, and the rigor had been lost in her upper body

11. The victim could have been dead for less than 2 hours or more than 48 hours, because that is time frame in which rigor mortis is present at all. Either way, rigor mortis would not be present before 2 hours or after 48 hours

12. Assuming there are no other variables, the body would have been dead for about 12 hours because that is the time at which the body is completely stiff

13. The temperature is really cold on the snowbank, so that slows down rigor in a big way. This could mean that the body had been dead for about 20 hours, as it would have to be much over the normal 12.

14. Since the victim was running and it was hot, that increases rate of rigor, so the range would have been about 1-3 hours 1. 1.4 degrees lost every hour for the first 12 hours. 98.6-91.6 = 5 hours.
 * __11.2__**
 * Part A**

2. The body has been dead for a less time than in number 1 because the colder temperature in the environment that its in makes the temperature fall faster, reaching 33.1 celsius faster

3. It would have been dead for about 9.5 hours because it started at 98.6, and it decreased 1.4 every hour. According to this it would take about 9.5 hours to reach the temperature of 85.2


 * for 4-7 we started at 98.6 and subtracted 1.4 degress if it was 12 hours or less and .7 if it was more, until we got the number we were looking for

4. Aproximate time of death is 41 hours previous to finding

5. Time of death is about 57.5 hours before finding

6. Time of death is about 10 hours before finding

7. Time of death is about 21 hours before finding 1. If they are naked, then there temperature drops faster,making the body get colder faster
 * Part B**

2. Windy conditions increases temperature drop, making the body get colder faster

3. Temperature is higher than normal to begin with so the estimate would have to be increased, since it would take longer

4. Assuming the lake is colder than our temperature, it would make the body temperature go down faster
