if someone dies from a cocaine overdose would rigamortis set in imidiatly?!


Question:

Answers:
Rigor mortis sets in after the body dies when the body has high amounts of lactic acid build up. It happens the same time with any type of death. I have a theory and I'm not sure that it's true. It may depend upon the person's body weight how quickly it would occur.

Other Answers:
what is rigamortis?
The method of death does not affect how quickly the body will stiffen.
No.
Cocaine use stimulates dopamine and norepinephrine transportation, so it would probably prolong rigor mortis if anything. But since cocaine is so short acting, it would probably have very little effect on when it sets in.
it would set in about 4-6 hours after death.
