I too never estimate times of death, that's left up to either the certifying doctor or the ME. The link however was indeed very interesting.

thank you.

It's like making people die while they're still living by calculating the length they'll remain on earth.

But somehow it is an interting topic, after all.

It never fails that when we run on a DOA some family member asks about time of death. We generally lie and tell them we don't know. Blatant lies to try and comfort the family. If they press us on the issue we tell them they will have to speak with the ME.
Keep writing!

I don't think this formula is sharp. Nobody cant't estimate thier time of death.
