Body changes are used in forensic science all the time, to determine the time of death or how they died. Body changes show us a lot about the crime that had taken place, either it was a murder or a suicide.
Death - Body Changes
... Body Changes ... Rigor Mortis is when the body dies and lactic acid causes the muscles to stiffen. Grave wax is white patches found on exposed fatty tissue of a dead body.
… 5 steps involved in the process of death … 1. The heart stops beating or the lungs stop breathing. 2. The body no longer receives oxygen and the heart stops pumping blood. 3. Cells die and the body loses it’s capacity to fight off bacteria. 4. Bacterial activity causes the body to decompose. 5. Muscles become stiff.
