I’ve always been curious on how they know how long a body has been dead for? For example, if they say “the body has been dead for 2 hours”, how come it’s not 2 days, weeks, etc..?
edit: spelling

The body goes through changes over time. In a short period you can tell based on the body itself, over longer time you can tell roughly based on things like how old larvae eating the body are and stuff like that. As it’s longer, it’s harder to get an exact time
