    Technique: Body cooling (measure body cooling to estimate time since death) Pigs: stages of body cooling after death. In pigs, the decrease in body temperature occurs in the eyeball, orbit soft tissue, rectum, and muscle tissue. [29] Up to 13 hours after death, eyeball cooling in pigs provides a reasonable estimate of time since death. [30]
