Abstract
In this paper we establish the exact time of death of a murdered person. This leads to an
ordinary differential equations whose solution has been analyzed to provide the approximate
time of death. Forensic expert will try to estimate this time from body’s current temperature and
calculating how long it would have taken to lose heat to reach this point. This provides an
accurate approach to establish the approximate time when crime is committed.
