To estimate time of death, we can first narrow down the window on the timeline by looking at the stages of rigor mortis and lividity. At the autopsy, it was observed that the victim was in full rigor mortis. The human body is typically in full rigor, or stiffness of the muscles, between 8 to 24 hours after death, during which time the muscles become completely stiff and stay stiff before rigor mortis dissipates (Crowe, n.d.). In this case, it may have been affected in that this process might…

Hypokalemia Hypokalemia means that the amount of potassium in the blood is lower than normal. Potassium is a chemical that helps regulate the amount of fluid in the body (electrolyte). It also stimulates muscle tightening (contraction) and helps nerves work properly. Normally, most of the body’s potassium is inside of cells, and only a very small amount is in the blood. Because the amount in the blood is so small, minor changes to potassium levels in the blood can be life-threatening. CAUSES…

strokes account for 87% of all stroke incidents, making this type of stroke the most common. Ischemic strokes occur as a result of a blood clot plugging or obstructing an artery carrying blood to the brain. This keeps oxygen and nutrient rich blood from flowing into the brain. If this blockage persists for more than a few minutes the brain cells may begin to die and serious damage can be done. Due to this, immediate medical treatment must be taken to minimize brain damage and potential…
