A dead body typically begins to cool shortly after death, with the cooling process known as algor mortis. Generally, a body can lose heat at a rate of about 1 to 1.5 degrees Fahrenheit (0.5 to 1 degree Celsius) per hour, depending on environmental conditions. After about 12 hours, the body may feel significantly cooler to the touch, but it can take 24 hours or more to reach the ambient temperature of the surrounding environment. Factors like body size, clothing, and the environment can influence the rate of cooling.

A dead body that sinks in warm and cold are immersed for how long?
In warm water, a dead body may resurface within a few days to a few weeks due to decomposition gases, while in cold water, the body may remain submerged for a longer period of time, potentially several weeks to months, before resurfacing due to the slower decomposition process. The exact time can vary based on factors such as water temperature, depth, and presence of aquatic life.
