How long has a victim been dead if his body temperature was 89.2°F?

The body loses 1.5 degrees of temperature per hour. Depending on the environment of course.
The body’s regular temperature is 98.6 so 98.6-89.2= 9.4
9.4 divided by 1.5 is about 6.2 hours.
But this is just what I know this is not a guaranteed solution.
