Mr. and Mrs. Mazikeen Smith - S3-E3
Factual error: The therapist says to stop the bleeding, Maze will have to remove the bullet and stitch him up. Gunshot wounds are complicated. To remove the bullet one must first perform an X-ray to see where it is, and after the surgery is completed, especially for a gutshot, surgical drains need to be installed till the wound heals. It's a hollow space that will fill up with bile and nastiness and drains are needed to collect the fluid, or else it will just get infected. If only it were that simple. (00:26:30 - 00:27:00)
Answer: Yes and no. After the body dies, it loses about 1.5°C per hour until it reaches ambient temperature (i.e. the temperature where the body is found). But there are factors affecting the rate of loss, and one has to assume a starting temperature of 98.6°F. In this case, after factoring in the time from when the police were called to when the body temperature was checked, it would have been determined some time had passed, just not a lot, before Beth saw Moira standing over Megan. Really, what they were saying is Moira's story is believable: that she found her sister dead and picked up the hammer right as the garage door opened.
