Impossible? Not necessarily. The decomposition chemistry that happens after death will increase the body temperature slightly. This increases also comes with various gas creation due to the nature of decomposition. I would not consider it "warm", but certainly warmer than tissue not exposed to degeneration.

Environmental factors can affect the rate of temperature loss to a corpse. The normal temperature for a body is 98.6 degrees. Now lets say the house temperature is 80 degrees and stays at 80 degrees. The corpses temperature would decrease slower, whereas in a cooler or colder environment it would decrease faster. In a garage in Phoenix, Az. where the temperature outside is 110 degrees the corpse temperature may rise. Forensic science and Medical Examiners use a lot of formulas to determine the time of death.

Death and burial at Jesus' time?

Palestine's warm climate and belief the corpse was ritually impure led Israelites to bury their dead as soon as possible, usually within 24 hours of death (Deut. 21:23). The dead were buried in caves, rock-cut tombs, or in the ground. The wealthy or politically powerful were sometimes buried with lavish accessories, including robes, jewelry, furniture, weapons, and pottery (1 Samuel 28:14; Isa. 14:11; Ezek. 32:27). Israel practiced cremation only in exceptional cases such as decay following mutilation (1 Samuel 31:12) or threat of plague.
