Coronation st last night

[chazza]

Am I right in saying that the pathologist (or whoever) would be able to determine exactly how long kasia was dead before the police got there? Surely she would have been at least cold, if not starting to suffer from rigor mortis?

Do you think this was overlooked by the programme makers or is this how the factory owners will be caught?

[lynbrown]

Thats what i wondered, they should at least have covered the body with rugs to keep it warm.

[gina32]

i wondered the same, i bet thats how they do find out

[beejaybee]

It`s possible that the heating would have been as they were after all working all night. This would have affected the the "body" .

[Reverandfunk]

Just like real life lol. How can people watch such tosh? Or is it just me??

[Tiny E. A]

Have the factory workers killed someone?! Bar stewards.

[chazza]

Even with the heat, even if there was a blanket over her, it would be possible to determine time of death from other methods!

[4getmenot]

I'm sure they can only tell roughly to within a few hours or more. Alot of the time when pathologists know a time of death is because of events.

[curlyperm]

yes reverandfunk............it IS just you! : )

[spainlads]

I think Anne Malone was warmer when she was found, and she was found dead in Fresco's freezers :)

Liver Temperature tells exactly when someone died along with stages of rigor mortis - this is taken from Forensic files :

Estimating Time of Death (TOD)


Coroner measures temperature of liver to determine time of death.
Medical investigators look for various signs to help them estimate a time frame -- usually a 2 to 4-hour window of time -- in which the victim probably died. These signs may include the following:

Rigor mortis (the stiffening of the muscles that occurs shortly after death)
Lividity (pooling of blood)
Body core temperature
Clouding of the corneas
Evidence of a decompositional process
Presence/absence of purge fluid
Drying of the tissues.
The organs most commonly used to determine the body core temperature are the liver and the brain, because of their mass and density. After death, the body temperature falls toward the temperature of the surroundings at a rate of about one-and-a-half degrees per hour. This rate will vary depending on the amount of body fat, the amount of blood loss, the amount of type of clothing worn by the victim, the location of the body (whether it was lying near a heating or air conditioning vent or inside a cooler), and, if the body was found outdoors, on the weather conditions, including air temperature, wind, and precipitation (rain or snow).

Id love to keep Carla warm though ;)

[tradey]

you know i was wondering the same thing myself,i thought god are they that daft or what

[Lou Knee]

maybe they will be found out and then the police will look into any past dealings with the Connors and re-investigate Michelle's husband's death....oh dear, I really need to get out more!

[PinkFizz]

I thought that as well - she would have been fairly cold when the police arrived - blooming daft story line - what is the point of it??

[galltin]

Isn't the point that it's leading up to the death of Paul Connor in the factory in the summer? I think I read that's why they started the storyline of the girl's death.
Could be wrong though.

[BigTed]

Paul crashes his Car after he tells Liam that Leanne is a prozza and they have a fight.

Leanne is a Cruff anyway shed have to pay me.

[Reverandfunk]

Curlyperm, how very dare you! lol

[4getmenot]

Leannes a bog eye

[curlyperm]

well reverandfunk, you can see how popular it is? What is it you watch? Songs of Praise hehehehe (just going off the username of course : )

[BigTed]

4getmenot i hadnt noticed that before about Leannes Eye i spotted it when the man was throwing her out the Hotel.

You couldnt tell if she was looking at him or seeing if the Bus was coming.
