Up to 13 hours after death, eyeball cooling in pigs provides a reasonable estimate of time since death. [30] After 13 hours, muscle and rectal temperatures in pigs are better estimates of time since death. [31] In dogs: what changes and when. Eye K+ decreases from 1.5 hours after death to 7 hours after death. [32]
Cadaveric spasm is seen in cases of drowning victims when grass, weeds, roots or other materials are clutched, and provides evidence of life at the time of entry into the water.

Postmortem heat production is caused by biochemical and microbial activity in the dead body. The cause of postmortem caloricity varies depending on the cause of death: Postmortem glycogenolysis – a phenomenon beginning soon after death observed in nearly all cadavers. In an average adult, postmortem glycogenolysis can produce up to 140 ...
