Question

. You and your forensics team are working a crime scene of a 19 year-old female who was found in the woods behind

the local hospital. She is found lying on her torso (face down), but lividity is present on the dorsal (back) side of the
victim.

Answer 1

Answer: If the body was found in a sunny area rigor mortis would be set in making it all stiff depending how long the body has been dead. If it was cold in the woods that would slow down how fast the rigor mortis would set in. It also depends on what she is wearing and if she is obese or thin.
