"Repeated experience teaches the investigator to be wary of relying on any single observationfor estimating the time of death (or "duration of the post mortem interval"), and he wisely avoidsmaking dogmatic statements based on an isolated observation". (Ref. 12 at p. 151.)"Considering the variables which influence the rate of body heat loss, the best one can say aboutthe reliability of algor mortis as a post mortem clock is that it permits a rough approximation ofthe time of death. Errors in over-estimating and under-estimating the post mortem interval basedon body cooling are common, even in the face of considerable experience by those making theestimate. Body temperature as an indicator of the post mortem interval should be correlated withall other phenomenon and observations utilised in establishing the time of death". (Ref. 12 at p.164.)
But there is another answer, which should be very clear once you understand it; and it has to do with making sure that a sting operation does not qualify as entrapment. “Sting operations are fraught with ethical concerns over whether they constitute entrapment.” {You are not allowed to view links.

However, and I’m going to let another cat out of the bag here: the hoax forums are a very strong defense against entrapment. If the FBI or MJ were ever charged of entrapment, all they would need to do is point to the hoax forums as proof that anybody could’ve figured out MJ did not die, if they really wanted to figure it out.
another puzzle .. to think :geek:
bec wrote: No body was used.Forensic science rules it out. Altering the temp of the room would not confuse the coroner. Body core temp is only one of many factors used to determine time of death and when it is, room temperature at the scene is automatically plugged into the formula. You are not allowed to view links.

Unless someone actually did die at Carrolwood on the morning of 6/25/09 (which the numerology proves is statistically unlikely), a corpse could not be used to fool anyone.Here's a good pdf file about it:You are not allowed to view links.

or maybe not if this person already had a medical history with the disease he had and there was no autopsy.
