how can digestion rates give information to forensic scientists about the time of death?

The digestion rate of light meal is fast whereas heavy meal digestion takes more time. The time is related with the rate of digestion. The heavy meal takes 6 hrs to digest whereas light meal takes 1 hr for digestion of food.

Explanation:

The digestion of food in gut depends on the type of food taken by the body. Different kind of food for example, heavy food, medium meal and light food take different time for digestion. The light meal digests faster within an hour or two than the heavy meal in the body.

Thus, by examining the type of food present in gut, forensic scientists can easily determine the time when the food was taken by the body. This allows scientists to know the time of death of the person.
