Signs of Death — Practice
The body of a 60-year-old man found dead indoors shows fully developed rigor mortis in the jaw, neck, upper and lower limbs, with no signs of secondary flaccidity. Ambient temperature is moderate. Based on the standard progression of rigor mortis in the Indian climate, the most probable time interval since death is approximately:
A12 hours
