I've been recently preparing for my section training and found something I don't understand. of course in patients who die from carbon monoxide poisoning we can see pink-colored postmortem stains, the liver is pink and so on... but I've red that you get similar(pink) postmortem stains when the body shortly after death is kept cold/ is left in cold environment. It doesn't sound right to me, but I'll appreciate any help
