Come now, don’t take it so seriously, I’m just curious, I recall when the nursing home where my mother was in the last few months of life, called me to say come as soon as you can...
She was still alive when they called.
It took LESS than an hour to get there. When my sister and I arrived, she had passed on and when I touched her on the thigh, she was already stiff, which gave me a shock.
It was in March, in a tropical region of Australia. Warm day, not hot.
Jim, you’re a doctor. How long would it take for rigor mortis to set in for a woman floating in a lifejacket in 79-degree water?
