Rigor Mortis, which is Latin for "stiffness of death" is one of the recognizable signs of death. It is caused by chemical changes in the muscles after death, causing the limbs of the corpse to become stiff and difficult to manipulate. Generally, in average temperatures, Rigor Mortis begins after approximately three to four hours and reaches maximum stiffness after 12 hours. Following this it begins to dissipate until approximately 48 to 60 hours after death.
