Algor mortis (Latin: algor—coldness; mortis—of death) is the reduction in body temperature following death. This is generally a steady decline until matching ambient temperature, although external factors can have a significant influence.
Use in forensic science and crime solving
A measured rectal temperature can give some indication of the time of death. Although the heat conduction which leads to body cooling follows an exponential decay curve, it can be approximated as a linear process: 2° Celsius during the first hour and 1° Celsius per hour until the body nears ambient temperature.
The Glaister equation[1][2] estimates the hours elapsed since death as a linear function of the rectal temperature:
As decomposition occurs the internal body temperature tends to rise again.
Factors affecting the rate of algor mortis
Generally, temperature change is considered an inaccurate means of determining time of death, as the rate of change is affected by several key factors including:[3]
- Stability or fluctuation of the ambient temperature.
- The thermal conductivity of the surface on which a body lies.
- Diseases or drugs which increase body temperature raising the starting temperature of the corpse at the time of death
- The existence of a "temperature plateau",[4] a highly variable period of time in which the body does not cool.
