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..?

After a while the biomolecules start to oxidise and fall apart. I believe they can chemically work out the approximate length a body has been dead for based on how oxidised the biochemicals are.
