Summary Introduction
To explain: The limitations of different methods for determining the time of the death, such as rigor mortis, livor mortis, and algor mortis.

Witnesses, evidence, and scientific studies can help to reconstruct the events of the crime. No particular method can reveal the exact time of death but can predict the estimated time.
