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.

just to be OCD :-) corpses dont get cold, they get to room temperature, maybe a bit above by heat generated by decomposition. Zombies on the other hand do measure just a touch over room temperature since…

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

Did you do a study? Do you know who may be doing this?
