Rectal temperature nomogram for time since death [C. Henssge, L. Althaus, J. Bolt, A. Freislederer, H.-T. Haffner, C. A. Henssge, B. Hoppe, V. Schneider] The temperature-based nomogram method for estimation of the time period since death was used at the scene of death as the primary method within a compound method in 72 consecutive cases. The situation and cooling conditions inspected and evaluated by the forensic pathologist at the scene are described as far as necessary to ¶enable handling of the method. A comparison of the ¶estimated period since death with the period determined by the police investigations demonstrates the reliability ¶of the method. There were no contradictions in any of the 60 cases between the period of death estimated by this method and that determined by the police investigations. The criminal investigations were effectively supported in the earliest stages in 11 cases despite the fact that the period estimated was of considerable duration.
