A body was found on October 26, 2018 at 5:30 am. Rigor mortis, algor mortis, and livor mortis can no longer be used to determine the time of death. Insect activity has been noted. Time since death needs to be determined in order to further the investigation.
Drill:
Determine the time since death:
Environmental temperature: 63 F
Body Temperature: 63 F
Livor mortis: Fixed
Rigor Mortis: Body fully relaxed
Students will be able to identify characteristics of specific insects in order to utilize its life cycle to help determine the time since death of a deceased individual
