Forensic science had been a large spectrum of science and technology for investigating or establishing facts in crime scene or civil law.It had been used widely to analyze and collecting evidences and help in recognizing process for any cases especially in crime cases.Its goal is to determine the fact and subsequently identify the truth. Beneath of all that, forensic science only work for truth by making sure the examination is complete, the test are perform correctly, the data is interpret deeply and the report is written correctly and easily understood by non-scientist. In fact, in forensic science one of the important things before undergo a deep investigation is to determine the time of death. Time of death is the time elapse since a person died. From the time of death, the time of dead person died can be obtain as well as suggest or get rid of suspects and strengthen or confute an alibi. The time of death determination introduced had been expanded and used in solving many cases in forensic investigation. Unfortunately, all methods now in use to determine the time of death are to a degree which is unreliable and not precise. They usually give vague or dubious answers. A method called Henssgenomogram formula which based on Newton Law of Cooling had been introduced as the most versatile and gives accurate result. Therefore, a fully computerized algorithm will be made based on that method. The algorithm will also be support with decision making for analysis and comparison with other factor that also significant and contribute in estimating the time of death. Thus, anyconflict that occurs within the result can be solved and concluded with a better result by providing a report along with analysis that had been made from the data provided through the investigation.
