Somebody's Been Reading Dante's Inferno - S4-E2
Stupidity: Chloe finds a new suspect, the cameraman. She goes into his shed and starts talking to him with her back turned towards him as she's looking for the murder weapon; knowing he very well committed the murder. She turns to draw her gun and the cameraman is standing a good 10-12 feet away with an axe, and he says "I wouldn't do that if I were you." A gun vs an axe, the gun will win, she had every ability to shoot him, and secondly going at a murder suspect with no backup is just another stupid move. (00:40:40 - 00:43:10)
Answer: Yes and no. After the body dies, it loses about 1.5°C per hour until it reaches ambient temperature (i.e. the temperature where the body is found). But there are factors affecting the rate of loss, and one has to assume a starting temperature of 98.6°F. In this case, after factoring in the time from when the police were called to when the body temperature was checked, it would have been determined some time had passed, just not a lot, before Beth saw Moira standing over Megan. Really, what they were saying is Moira's story is believable: that she found her sister dead and picked up the hammer right as the garage door opened.
