Overview

Pallor mortis (Latin: paleness of death) is a postmortem paleness which happens almost instantaneously (in the 15–120 minutes after the death) because of a lack of capillary circulation throughout the body.

Paleness develops so rapidly after death that it has little to no use in determining the time of death.
