- A person driving to work saw his neighbor’s house with a broken front door. He called 911 to alert the police and have it checked. A crime detective then arrived at 9:00 AM at the house and discovered a dead body in the master’s bedroom. He evaluated the temperature of the body, and the result is 80.0 ℉. Afterwards, police started checking for a possible murder angle through evidence collection. One hour later, the temperature of the body is checked again, and the reading is 75.0 ℉. If the room temperature is 70-degree F, evaluate the time for which the possible murder case took place.
