Answer: Rectal Thermometer

Step-by-step explanation:

The most common way of taking the temperature of the deceased is to use a rectal thermometer or to take a temperature reading from the liver, which can achieve a more realistic core body temperature. Rigor Mortis also acts as a good measuring stick for estimating the time of death.
