Determining the time since death using temperature requires high measurement accuracy for reliable results.
Thermometers with an accuracy of 1°C resulted in a relative error exceeding 15% in early cooling stages.
Simulation based on C. Henssge's mathematical model was performed across various diagnostic zones and temperatures.
Utilizing precise thermometers with an accuracy of 0.1°C or 0.01°C is crucial for accurate forensic assessments.
