Rigor mortis - Maybe it had come and gone, or maybe the cold slowed it way down?

This is how it works in people.

Quote:
Rigor mortis appears approximately 2 hours after death in the muscles of the face, progresses to the limbs over the next few hours, completing between 6 to 8 hours after death.[10] Rigor mortis then stays for another 12 hours (till 24 hours after death) and then disappears.
