Cadaveric Lividity and Rigor Mortis: A Forensic Analysis
Cadaveric Lividity
Cadaveric lividity depends on the position of the cadaver. When the body is supine (face up), the spots form on the entire dorsal surface, except where pressure is applied. If the body is prone (face down), the lividity appears on the front of the body, respecting pressure areas. As a rule, lividity is located in the dependent regions of the body, indicating the position in which the body remained.
Varieties of Lividity
Hypostatic purple lividity consists of point-like scarlet fever.
