Is there a sensor that can be used for detecting a dead human body?

Does the dead human body still emit infrared? Will sensors like omron d6t still work?

I think smell is the best current method (using cadaver dogs). It might be possible to design a sensitive smell detector using ion mobility spectroscopy, but it is a pretty big research project.

A heart rate monitor would probably tell you if you're dead.
