Lividty pattern showing both the outline of the arm that was pinned between the body and a hard surface. Lividity starts when blood flow ceases after death. The blood that was formerly flowing through the body is drawn to the lowest point in the body by the influence of gravity. Typically, postmortem lividity appears as a bluish-purple or reddish-purple color in the regions of the body that are in close contact with the ground. Areas that are further removed from the ground can be pink at the periphery of the discoloration.
