Can a body bruise after it has died?
No, I'm not a macabre freak or anything, I was considering going to med school and I've been wondering about this for a while.
Does anyone know if a body can get bruised after it has died, either by someone hitting it, or falling or similar? Is there a specific time frame that matters?

Answers:
There is a phenomenon called "lividity" that causes purple spots in the low spots of a body... basically blood settles there.
There can be continued bleeding into tissue after death, and for a few minutes it could probably be triggered by post-mortem trauma.
