FYI: Livor mortis (lividity) is a settling of the blood in the lower portions of the body, causing a purplish red discoloration of the skin. When the heart stops functioning and is no longer agitating the blood, heavy red blood cells sink through the serum by action of gravity. Livor mortis starts between twenty minutes to three hours after death and is congealed in the capillaries in four to five hours. Maximum lividity occurs within 6–12 hours. Lividity is often used to estimate the time of death and whether or not a corpse has been moved…
