Abody is found inside a house. the body isn’t stiff, but the body temperature has dropped to room temperature. what would you estimate as the postmortem interval?

a)24-36 hours

b) 12-18 hours

c) 18-24 hours

d) 36 hours

correct option is a)24-36 hours

Explanation:

solution

we know that body found in house and body temperature drop

so we can say that when  body dies then body  become stiff and notice able approx after half hour to the three hour

so stiffness complete after 6 to 12 hour then that stiffness begin to disappear approx  after 24 to 36 hour for Autolysis process

so that it break  bond with in the body

and there will dilation of blood vessel that make body temperature dropped to the room temperature

so we can say here correct option is a)24-36 hours

The answer is D. >36 hours

Explanation:

The condition of the body makes it impossible to estimate the PMI more accurately than being >36 hours. rigor mortis generally ends around 36-48 hours, at which time, the body is no longer rigid.
