Once the human body has died, it will remain its average temperature of 37 degrees celcius for approximately one hour. For every degree dropped below 37, the human body is judged to have been dead for another hour.

What will be the temperature of dead body?

When the body first dies it will retain its normal core body temperature (37o in humans) for about an hour before steadily loosing heat over time. Crime scene investigators use this to work out how long a body has been dead. They measure the core body temperature with a liver probe and for every degree below 37 they judge the body to have been dead for approxamaitly 1 hour.

Where is the most accurate place to take the body temperature Suppose a body is found and its temperature is recorded at 34 degrees Celsius how long has the body been dead?

The most accurate place to take body temperature is usually the rectum, as it provides a reliable core temperature reading. A body temperature of 34 degrees Celsius indicates hypothermia, which can suggest that the person has been dead for several hours, typically anywhere from 2 to 8 hours, depending on environmental conditions. However, various factors such as ambient temperature and the individual's body composition can affect the rate of cooling, making precise time estimation challenging.
