Q: Postmortem Changes

In the field of forensic medicine, postmortem changes, which we can see in cadaver, is the most important point.
Livor mortis (postmortem lividity) is the suggillation on the skin of the cadaver. After the person died, the blood circulation has stopped and the blood settle in the lower part of the body. The cadaver lying on the bed has lividity on the back and the hanging cadaver has lividity on the legs. The color of lividity is normally dark red but the cause of death is carbon monoxide poisoning, the color is bright red. The postmortem lividity tells the posture when they die and sometimes the cause of death.
Postmortem rigidity is well-known phenomenon; we can estimate elapsed time from death. In two or three hours, the rigidity only appears in jaw or neck. In half a day, the rigidity reaches the whole body. If that person dies right after the vigorous exercise (for example, the death during the marathon or being drown and struggle), the rigidity can appear faster and harder than usual.
Other postmortem changes are cooling of the body and turbidity of the cornea. Does this sound natural?
