Carla is working as a forensic investigator who specializes in specific time of death analysis. She is called into the lab to help determine the time of death for a recent body that was found. An autopsy was already performed, and some information was recorded by investigators at the scene when the body was discovered. When she arrives at the lab Tuesday evening, she learns the body was found on the kitchen floor yesterday, Monday, at 5 p.m. On the table was that morning’s paper open to the sports section and a half full cup of coffee. Based on the information provided, what is an appropriate estimate for approximate time of death?
1. 8 a.m. Monday
2. 3 p.m. Monday
3. 8 a.m. Sunday
4. 10 p.m. Saturday
