The most accurate form of finding the core body temp is by way of a liver temp. The ME sticks a thermometer directly into the liver. It looks just like one of those kitchen thermometers with a sharp end that is used to check the temp of beef or poultry.(04-07-2011, 03:08 AM)curious Wrote:(04-07-2011, 02:54 AM)d505 Wrote: Does anyone know if the police officers took a rectal temperature of the bodies once they were pronounced dead?
Oh you were doing well...pretty sure LE carry guns not thermometers, maybe you meant medical examiner
Right, the sooner a rectal temperture is taken the more accurate the results. If police officers don't do this they should learn how to its not that hard.
