Case: At 9:00 PM a coroner arrived at a hotel room of a murder victim. The temp. of the room was 70 degrees F. It was assumed that the victim had a body temp. of 98.6 degrees F (AT THE TIME OF DEATH)(not at 9:00PM). The coroner took the victim's temp. at 9:15 PM at which it was 83.6 degrees F and again at 10:00 PM at which it was 80.3 degrees F.
A. At what time did the victim die?
B. If the assumption of the victim's body temp. at the time of death was found to be incorrect due to a major outbreak of influenza at the hotel during the victim's stay and the usual fever a flu case will run is 103 degrees F. What is the time of death then?
C. If the victim had no influenza at the time of death, but the room temp was really 75 degrees F what was the time of death then?
D. Assuming the victim was murdered 3 minutes of the time the murderer got off the elevator(which had video surveillance) what five minute sequence should have been reviewed in each scenarios a, b, and, c?
