Rigor mortis
Hi
Please help me with the text below. Does it mean that sa dead body starts losing its stiffness after 72 hours? Thanks for your help.
Rigor mortis is one of the recognizable signs of death that is caused by a chemical change in the muscles after death, causing the limbs of the corpse to become stiff and difficult to move or manipulate. In humans it commences after about 3 hours, reaches maximum stiffness after 12 hours, and gradually dissipates until approximately 72 hours (3 days) after death.
