After death, body temperature declines progressively until it reaches the temperature of its surroundings. This process generally takes about 8 to 12 hours on the skin, but the centre of the body takes aboue three times as long to cool. At the crime scene, it is vital to take the rectal temperature of the body as well as the air temperature. If possible, the same temperatures should be taken again just before the body is removed to the mortuary to determine the rate of cooling. A rough estimate of the time of death can be obtained by assuming a temperature loss of one and a half degrees Fehernheit per hour, and assuming the normal body temperature of 98.4. However, many factors may influence the rate of heat loss and this is only an estimate.

Do dead bodies get cold?
That depends on the ambient temperature. A corpse will take on the temperature of the environment. If it's in a house that is 70 degrees, the corpse will cool to 70 degrees. If it's outside at 40 below, it will cool to 40 below.
