Abstract
The determination of the time of death in forensic investigations is a crucial aspect of solving criminal cases. In this research paper, we propose a mathematical model based on differential equations and Newton's Law of Cooling to estimate the time of death. By measuring the body temperature at specific time intervals after the discovery of a deceased individual, we can calculate the time at which the victim's temperature was normal (98.6F) prior to their demise. Through a detailed analysis of temperature data, our model yields a precise estimation of the time of death, aiding law enforcement agencies in their investigations.
