Answer:

One method of estimating the time of death is to measure body temperature. The normal equation for this is: 37.5oC - 1.5 oC This formula equates to the body temperature (37.5oC), which loses 1.5 oC per hour until the temperature of the body is that of the environment around it; known as the ambient temperature.
