Investigators find a victim of a gunshot to the head laying limply on their back, with dark purple discoloration on the front of their body (the chest area especially). What might they conclude?

Rigor mortis has not yet occurred.

The victim was moved after their death.

The gunshot was not the cause of death.

The victim has only been dead for an hour or two.
