That can't be answered unless you are able to provide the conditions. How much clothing was the person wearing? ...was the person on a conductive surface or on an insulated surface? ...was the person large? ...what was the outside (ambient) temperature? ...was the person submerged in water? ...etc.

The only correct answer to your question is "Immediately, if the ambient temperature is less than body temperature."

Body temperature will drop about 1.5 degrees per hour, under ideal circumstances. However if it is out in the weather, that has a big impact.

If the time after death is long, the temperature will be what is called ambient temperature or the temperature of the room it is in.

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.


What human body part can be crushed into powder to make glue?

you can use a lung with some water. It's better if it's a smokers long, as it has in it tar. crush it and mix it for about 10 min. after that cool it down in the refrigerator for about an hour. add some coca-cola and mix it for another 10 min. then just apply it on what ever and you have glue...

What is the stage of Decomposition of a human body after 2 weeks in water?

Decomposition or rotting is the process by which tissues of a dead organism break down into simpler forms of matter. A dead body that is exposed to the open elements, such as water and air, will decompose more quickly and attract much more insect activity than a body that is buried or confined in special protective gear or artifacts. Ultimately, the rate of bacterial decomposition acting on the tissue will depend upon the temperature of the surroundings. Colder temperatures decrease the rate of decomposition while warmer temperatures increase it. Normal body temperature during life is 98.6 degrees F. After death, the body loses heat progressively until it equilibrates with that of the surrounding medium. The rate of this heat loss is approximately 1.5 degrees per hour until the environmental temperature is attained, then it remains stable. Obviously, this measure is greatly effected by location. A body in the snow in Minnesota in January and one in a Louisiana swamp in August will lose heat a widely divergent rates. These factors must be considered in any "estimate" of time of death. The criminalist who processes the scene should take a body temperature and measure the temperature of the surrounding medium--air, water, snow, earth (if the body is buried). Ideally, the body temperature is taken rectally. Obviously, the sooner after death the body is found, the more accurately time of death can be assessed by this method. Once the body reaches ambient temperature, all bets are off.

How long before a dead body gets cold?

A body starts to cool down immediately upon death. It starts to cool from outside to inside, starting from the head and extremities inward, at a rate of about 2° per hour, but it could be affected by the temperature and climate of the location where the person died.

Looking at a standard wall clock at the time 6 30 what is the angle in nearest degrees created by the minute hand and the hour hand?

The angle between the hour hand and the minute hand on a standard clock at 6:30 is 15 degrees. Let's review the movement of the hands of the clock specific to this problem. The hour hand moves through the 12 hours of half a day in 12 hours (naturally), and that translates into the hour hand moving 360 degrees in 12 hours. That means the hour hand moves 360/12, or 30 degrees per hour. That translates into 15 degrees in half an hour. If the hour hand is pointing straight down at 6:00 (which it is), it will move 15 degrees from where it was in half and hour. And the time will be 6:30 with the minute hand pointing straight down. The minute hand will be pointing to where the hour hand was half an hour ago. And, as stated, the hour hand will have moved from dead on the six and gone 15 degrees further around.

The temperature of the dead body is?

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 is body temperature after death?

After the heart stops beating, the body turns cold. This process is known as algor mortis. Each hour, the body temperature drops about 1.5 degrees Fahrenheit until it reaches room temperature. This process takes about 8 to 12 hours on the skin, but the inside of the body takes about three times as long to cool. In the end, the deceased body will reach the temperature of its surroundings.
