After death, rigor mortis occurs because of chemical changes within the muscles that causes them to stiffen.
Rigor mortis occurs because the muscles in the corpse contract. This contraction occurs because the calcium ions that are stored in the muscles diffuses and causes the myosin and actin proteins to activate, but not release.
Rigor mortis typically occurs a few hours after death and lasts for about 24-48 hours before the body begins to decompose. So, rigor mortis occurs before the body starts to decompose.
Yes, temperature can affect the rate at which rigor mortis occurs. Warmer temperatures generally cause muscles to stiffen more rapidly, while colder temperatures can slow down or even delay the onset of rigor mortis.

Rigor Mortis Sets In was created in 1972-11.
The duration of Rigor Mortis - radio - is 1800.0 seconds.
Rigor mortis typically begins in smaller muscles first, such as those in the eyelids, before progressing to larger muscles. Therefore, the upper eyelid would likely be affected by rigor mortis before the lower eyelid.
Rigor mortis is a build up of released lactic acid. Rigor mortis starts a few hours after you die, and causes your muscles to contract, or shorten, which is their natural state. After about 12 hours Rigor mortis begins to dissipate.
