Livor mortis is the settling of the blood in the lower dependent) portion of the body, causing a purplish-red discoloration of the skin. When the heart is no longer beating, gravity causes the red blood cells to sink into the tissue. This discoloration does not occur in the areas of the body that are in contact with the ground or another object because the capillaries are compressed. Livor mortis becomes fixed after roughly 10 hours and may be used to determine whether a body has been moved after this time if the pattern is inconsistent with the victim's final resting position.
-Livor mortis is an example of what type of evidence? Explain.
