What is the first stage of death observed?
Pallor mortis
The first stage of death typically observed is pallor mortis, also known as paleness of death. This occurs immediately after death when the heart stops pumping blood throughout the body, causing blood to drain from the small vessels in the body’s surface, leaving the skin pale and white. The body temperature also begins to drop rapidly, and the lack of circulation causes the skin to become clammy and cold to the touch. This stage can last for up to fifteen minutes, and is followed by other stages such as algor mortis, rigor mortis, and livor mortis.
