Ooops,Bridget,I'm getting mixed up with livor and algor.
Hi Patti,now yes,that's an entirely different " take " with June's pics,as she practically looks " laid out ", and it's plain to see that she'd been dead longer than Sheila. I'd pointed out earlier that if a rectal temperature had been taken of Sheila,then that would have pretty well determined her time of death.Sheila had the undigested food in her stomach,yes.While the others didn't,which meant that Sheila enjoyed her " midnight snacks ",after all the family had eaten together earlier.You'd be able to move the arm from the shoulder ( in one,,,,rather than bending from the elbow ) where there are " ball and socket joints )
Well she would be pale bridget, even if still alive her body would be in a huge state of shock and any blood circulating would have rushed to her vital organs to try and support them. Have seen a fair few dead bodies in my time albeit not for some years now but she does'nt look as tho' she's been dead for 4 hours or more. imho
Sorry to keep coming back to you Lookout, but if her arm was bent, would they have a problem straightening it? Hi Maggie, good fun here ....lol
For any length of time Patti. Bodies are kept horizontal because after RM has set in,it's difficult to actually bend the limbs.It is dependent on each individual though Patti,as to how long after death that RM sets in.It does vary.
