A description of the specific change in the body that brought about the cessation of life.

For example: if COD is because of a shooting, MOD would be loss loss

The time the victim died, usually determined by the forensic examiner.

Liver Mortis (Death Color): After death, the red blood cells in one's body crumble, and spill their contents. The spilled contents change the body color. Forensic examiners use this to determine TOD

Rigor Mortis (Death Stiffness): After 38 hours, the body loses all stiffness. Forensic examiners use this to determine the TOD.

Algor Mortis (Death Heat): During life, our body conducts homeostasis. Due to this, after death, the body stops the generation of heat and cools down.

1. If undigested stomach contents are present, then death occurred 0-2 hours after the last meal
2. If food is found in the small intestine,
then death occurred 4-6 hours after the last meal
3. If wastes are found in the
large intestine, then death
probably occurred 12+ hours after the last meal

When we blink, we rehydrate our eyes. After death, the eyes become dry and brittle.

1. Within two days after death: Cell autolysis begins following death. Green and purplish staining occurs from blood decomposition. The skin takes on a marbled appearance. The face becomes discolored.
2. After four days: The skin blisters. The abdomen swells with the gas carbon dioxide that is released by
bacteria living in the intestines.
3. Within six to ten days: The corpse bloats with carbon dioxide as bacteria continue to feed on tissues. Eventually, the gas causes the chest and abdominal cavities
to burst and collapse. Fluids begin to leak from the body openings as cell membranes rupture. Eyeballs and other tissues liquefy. The skin sloughs off.
