Hi,

The temperature of the body rises for the first two hours after death by sunstroke,
septicemia,
tetanus,
strychnine poisoning called post-mortem caloricity.
The curve of cooling is sigmoid in pattern.

A rough idea of time in hours of death can be obtained by –
(Normal body temperature – Rectal temperature)/Rate of temperature fall per hour

if the temp is given in Farenhites then the answer is 0.67You Shud also know
when the temp is in centigrade the formula for Time since death is

TSD=(NORMAL BODY TEMP-RECTAL TEMPRATURE)x2
