A body was found on a couch with rigor mortis in only the large muscles of the body. The doctor who found the body told the investigator that rigor was just starting, so the body had been dead for less than 2 hours. Based on your knowledge of forensics, do you agree or disagree with the evaluation? Support your claim using what you know about rigor mortis (2-3 sentences).

Begin your answer by saying "I agree..." or "I disagree."
