Answer:
The correct answer will be- 2 hours.
Explanation:
The time of death is required by the pathologist who performs an autopsy.
A dead body loses approximately 1.5°C temperature per hour which is the basis for estimating the time of death. The estimation is performed by measuring the temperature of the body and then subtracting the recorded temperature from the normal body temperature (37.5° C).
Temperature difference= 37.5° C- recorded temerature
= 37.5° C- 34.5° C
= 3° C
Since a body loses 1.5°C per hour therefore, the body has died approximately two hours ago.
Using the time of death formular, the body has been dead for about 3.6 hours.
Rate of change in temperature = 1.5°F per hour
Given the parmater :
Converting 34°C to Fahrenheit ;
Using the time of Death formula :
The time of death of the body can be calculated thus :
(98.6 - 93.2) ÷ 1.5
5.4 ÷ 1.5 = 3.6
The body has been dead for about 3.6 hours.
