The statement "The cooling of the body after death is livor mortis" is false.
Here's why:
1. Livor mortis, also known as lividity, refers to the pooling of blood in the lower parts of the body after death, causing a purplish discoloration of the skin. It is a part of the process of rigor mortis, which is the stiffening of the body after death.
2. The cooling of the body after death is actually known as algor mortis. Algor mortis is the gradual cooling of the body temperature after death as the body loses its ability to regulate temperature.
So, in summary, livor mortis is related to blood pooling and skin discoloration after death, while algor mortis refers to the cooling of the body after death.
