   Livor mortis, or dependent lividity, a settling of the blood in the lower (dependent) portion of the body; Algor mortis, the reduction in body temperature following death. This is generally a steady decline until matching ambient temperature; Rigor mortis, the limbs of the corpse become stiff (Latin rigor) and difficult to move or manipulate

3. Livor mortis - Wikipedia

   Algor mortis (from Latin algor 'coldness' and mortis 'of death'), the third stage of death, is the change in body temperature post mortem, until the ambient temperature is matched.

6. Post-mortem interval - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Post-mortem_interval

   Rigor mortis: stiffening of limbs. Conditions at the scene of death affect the estimation of time of death. To algor mortis, livor mortis and rigor mortis, together with consideration of stomach contents, there needs to be some observation of environmental conditions at the death scene to accurately measure the PMI (Fig. 1). [4]

7. Putrefaction - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Putrefaction

   Putrefaction is the fifth stage of death, following pallor mortis, livor mortis, algor mortis, and rigor mortis. This process references the breaking down of a body of an animal post-mortem . In broad terms, it can be viewed as the decomposition of proteins , and the eventual breakdown of the cohesiveness between tissues, and the liquefaction ...

8. Rigor mortis - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rigor_mortis

   Rigor mortis [a] (from Latin rigor 'stiffness' and mortis 'of death'), or postmortem rigidity, is the fourth stage of death. It is one of the recognizable signs of death , characterized by stiffening of the limbs of the corpse caused by chemical changes in the muscles postmortem (mainly calcium). [ 1 ]

9. Postmortem caloricity - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Postmortem_Caloricity

   Somatic death is the cessation of the tripod of life, meaning the failure of circulation, respiration, or cerebral activity. Cellular death continues long after somatic death, with the classic resulting condition of rigor mortis (stiffening of the muscles due to lack of oxygen and increase in lactic acids). Postmortem changes are also ...
