Question 10. A detective has been called to the scene of a crime where a dead body has just been discovered. The detective arrives at 9:00 AM and begins to investigate. Immediately, the temperature of the body is taken and is found to be 90.3°F. The detective checks the programmable thermostat and finds that the room has been kept at a constant 68.0°F for the past 3 days. After the evidence from the crime scene is collected, the temperature of the body is taken once more and found to be 89.0°F. This last temperature reading was taken exactly one hour after the first one. The following day, the detective is asked "At what time did our victim die?" Assuming that the victim's body temperature was normal (98.6°F) prior to death, what should the detective answer?
