The evolution of methods for estimating the time of death from body temperature
Abstract
A chronological survey is offered of the development of concepts and techniques to use body temperature in the estimation of time since death. For a century and a half, this method has been investigated, though accuracy still cannot be claimed, especially in operational conditions.
