Algor mortis (Latin: algorheatness; mortisof 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.

Death erection
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jump to: navigation, search A death erection, angel lust, or terminal erection[1] is a post-mortem erection, technically a priapism, observed in the corpses of human males who have been executed, particularly by hanging.[2]
Livor mortis or postmortem lividity (Latin: livorbluish color, mortisof death) or hypostasis (Greek: sediment), one of the signs of death, is a settling of the blood in the lower (dependent) portion of the body, causing a purplish red discoloration of the skin: when the heart is no longer agitating the blood, heavy red blood cells sink through the serum by action of gravity. This discoloration does not occur in the areas of the body that are in contact with the ground or another object, as the capillaries are compressed Pallor mortis (Latin for paleness of death) is a postmortem paleness which happens in those with light skin almost instantly (in the 15120 minutes after the death) because of a lack of capillary circulation throughout the body. The blood sinks down into the lower parts (according to gravity) of the body creating the livor mortis. Rigor mortis is one of the recognizable signs of death (Latin mors, mortis meaning "of death") that is caused by a chemical change in the muscles after death, causing the limbs of the corpse to become stiff (Latin rigor) and difficult to move or manipulate.[1] In humans it commences after about 3 hours, reaches maximum stiffness after 12 hours, and gradually dissipates until approximately 72 hours (3 days) after death.[2]
