That's possible, but unlikely. The medical examiner's office is charged with determining the cause and time of death:
Determining the Time of Death
The time of death can, with variable accuracy, be estimated by determining:
1. the temperature of the body and the rate of cooling;
2. the degree of postmortem lividity (hypostasis);
3. the degree of rigor mortis;
4. putrefaction;
5. insect activity; and,
6. analyzing stomach contents

liver temperature
the importance of study of blood in determine the cause of death and the length of time the victim survive the attack
False
Examination of the body alone is not always enough to determine the exact time of death. Factors such as body temperature, rigor mortis, livor mortis, and forensic entomology are considered in addition to the condition of the body. Combining these methods can provide a more accurate estimation of the time of death.
it is the temperature of the liver that determines the time of death (how long a body has been dead). that's why the medical examiner sticks a meat thermometer into the liver.
Thermal death point is the temperature at which an organism will be killed by heat, and thermal death time is the concept used to determine what that time and temperature must be. These ideas are frequently used in the food and cosmetic industries to eliminate bacterial contamination.
The Death certificate and MVR (Motor Vehicle Report) can be used to determine if death was accidental.
Yes, they do. They also assist forensic entomologists in helping determine the time of death.
There are different ways in which a forensic pathologist can make an educated guess as to the time of death. One such way would be body temperature. Another way is by body decomposition. Our bodies begin to decompose immediately upon death, and the time of death can be determined by which stage the body is in.

Back before they started using thermometers to determine time of death by the temperature, they would use a number of deductive ways such as, level of rigor, if the blood had pooled in the body, the amount of due compensation, even if their was flies or maggots.
