ANS: C
The most notable manifestations are complete cessation of respiration and circulation. Algor mor-tis is postmortem reduction of body temperature and is not confirmation of somatic death. Livor mortis is muscle stiffening and is not confirmation of somatic death. Change in skin color to pale yellow does occur, but complete cessation of respiration and circulation confirms somatic death.
