11.1 Ex A 1) The body has been dead either less than two hours or more than 48. 2) 12 hours 3) 2 to 6 hours 4) 15 hours to 36 hours 5) About two hours 6) 2 to 6 hours

Ex B 7) Less than 15 hours because she was thin and in a warmer environment both of which accelerate rigor. 8) A little more than 12 hours because cold temperature slows down rigor mortis. 9) A good amount of time after six hours because the man was obese, not exercising and in a cool environment all of which slow down the process of rigor mortis. 10) The time interval is 15-36 hours but since she was exercising and the truck of a car (warmer) rigor was sped up and could have been a little less. 11) With this little description there is no way to be sure, it would be less than 12 or more than 12 if in normal conditions, but since no conditions are listed it could really be any amount of time. 12) Without any environmental conditions listed you would assume about 12 hours is the body is at leak rigor mortis, but with no environmental conditions there is now ay to be sure. 13) He has been dead more than 12 hours because rigor is slowed in cold temperature and 12 hours is the standard peak rigor mortis. 14) She has been dead less than 12 hours because her body is not at peak rigor mortis and she was exercising on a hot summer day before she died.

11.2 Ex A 1) 98.6 F (normal body temp)- 91.6 (temp of victim) = 7 a. know les than 12 hours so 1.4 degrees lost b. 1.4 x 5= 7, victim has been dead for 5 hours 2) Shorter amount of time because the cold weather would have sped up the decrease of body temperature 3) 98.6-85.2 = 13.4 a. 13.4/1.4 = victim has been dead for 9. 571 hours 4) 98.6-60.8 =37.8 a. 1.4 * 12 = 16.8 b. 37.8-16.8 = 21 c. 21/.7 = 30 d. 30 + 12 = 42 hours 5) 98.6- 50 =48.6 a. 48.6- 16.8 = 31.8 b. 31.8 / .7 = 45. 429 c. 45. 429 + 12 = 57. 429 hours 6) 98.6-84.9 = 13.7 a. 13.7 / 1.4 = 9. 786 hours 7) 98.6 -75 = 23.6 a. 23.6-16.8 = 6.8 b. 6.8 / .7 = 9.714 c. 9.714 + 12 = 21. 714 hours Part B 1) Reduce the 10 hour estimate 2) Reduce the 10 hour estimate 3) Increase the 10 hour estimate 4) Reduce the 10 hour estimate ||  ||   ||   ||   ||   ||   ||   ||   ||   ||   ||   ||   ||   ||   ||   ||   ||   ||   ||   ||
