Consider a crime scene in Manila City in which a man is killed in his apartment apparently shot on the head. The body was discovered in the apartment early in the morning and at 7:00 A.M. The coroner measured its temperature, at 25°C that time. One hour later another temperature, 24°C, was taken. The coroner noted that the temperature of the murder victim's apartment was maintained at a constant temperature of 20°C.
