Detailed explanation-1: -Postmortem lividity (livor mortis) is the settling of blood in the lowest part of the body due to gravity. This process immediately starts at the onset of death since the blood is no longer actively pumped through the body. The blood will start pressing on the skin leaving red/purple marks on the body.

Detailed explanation-2: -Livor mortis usually sets in 20 to 30 minutes after death and increases in intensity until it becomes fixed at about 12 hours.

Detailed explanation-3: -Livor Mortis (Lividity) is the settling of blood in body due to gravity. Livor Mortis starts to develop 2-4 hours after death, becomes non-fixed or blanchable up to 8-12 hours after death and fixed or non-blanchable after 8-12 hours from the time of death.

Detailed explanation-4: -This period runs from 3 to 72 hours after death. The early post-mortem phase is most frequently estimated using the classical triad of post-mortem changes – rigor mortis, livor mortis, and algor mortis.

Detailed explanation-5: -Algor mortis is defined as the second stage after death. It starts approximately 30 minutes after death and can continue for the first 48 hours, but typically is complete by 18 to 20 hours after death, unless the body is in an extreme environment.
