Livor Mortis is when blood seeps through the tissues and settles in the lowest parts of the body depending on the position at death. The red blood cells break down and the hemoglobin that spills out turns purple, which is visible in parts of the skin where the blood pools. Lividity is first present at about 2 hours after death (AD). Between 2 and 8 hours lividity will be present, but if the skin is pressed the color will disappear. Temperature may impact how long Livor Mortis takes to set in.

Rigor Mortis is when the muscles contract or stiffen due to lack of oxygen in the bloodstream that leads to a build up of calcium. The affects of Rigor Mortis begins usually 2 hours after death in normal conditions. Stiffness starts in the head with the smallest muscles like the eyelids, neck, and jaw. As time passes stiffness gradually moves down the body towards larger muscles. In warmer temperatures Rigor Mortis will occur more quickly, and in cooler temperatures it will occur more slowly. Body weight and activity before death will also affect how long Rigor Mortis will take or if it even occurs at all.

After about 12 hours entire body is at its most rigid state in normal conditions. Fluctuations in temperature will change the time when the body is most rigid.

After 12 hours the body temperature has lost 9.36 degrees C, so the body temperature would be 27.64 degrees C in normal conditions. If the temperature were hotter or colder the body temperature would be different.

Around this time muscle fibers will begin to dissolve and soften.

After 36 hours the muscles will gradually begin to soften starting with head again and moving down the body.

It is around this time that the stages of Rigor Mortis are complete and there are no signs of stiffness in the body. The body is completely flaccid. Different temperatures will affect the stages of Rigor Mortis and it may take longer or shorter.

After 48 hours the body temperature has lost 23.4 degrees C, so the body temperature would be 13.6 degrees C in normal conditions. The body loses most of its heat in the first 48 hours, so after this point it loses heat even slower.
