   What happens if a body is not disturbed?

   • Since the heart no longer pumps blood, gravity begins to pull it to the areas of the body closest to the ground (pooling), a process called livor mortis. If the body is not disturbed for several hours, the parts nearest the ground can develop a reddish-purple discoloration that looks like a bruise. This is caused by the accumulation of blood.
