Answer 1

42 degrees

Answer 2

The mortuary cold chamber is used to keep the deceased as long as is necessary for identification purposes, post-mortemexamination, or while awaiting burial. Morgue - Morgue or mortuary cold chamber There are two types of mortuary cold chambers: * Morgue - Positive temperature +2/+4 °C (35.6°/39.2°F) which is the most usual for keeping the bodies a few days or a few weeks, but does not prevent decomposition of the corpse, which continues, albeit at a slow rate. * Morgue - Negative temperature -15°C/-25 °C (5°/-13°F) which is usual in forensic institutes, especially for bodies which have not yet been identified. At these temperatures, the body is completely frozen and decomposition totally halted.

Answer 3

The temperature in a morgue is typically kept between 36-40 degrees Fahrenheit (2-4 degrees Celsius) to slow down decomposition of bodies. This cold temperature helps preserve bodies until autopsies or other procedures can be conducted.
