Yes, rigor mortis does leave the body over time. It typically begins within 2 to 6 hours after death, peaks around 12 hours, and then gradually dissipates over the next 24 to 48 hours as the muscles break down and the biochemical processes cease. Eventually, the body returns to a state of flaccidity.
