You are called to investigate an unwitnessed death of a 68-year-old male found supine on his living room floor by a neighbor. Livor mortis is fixed and present on the posterior surfaces of the body, but you observe a pale area on the right buttock and posterior right thigh consistent with the contact surface of a recliner chair positioned several feet away from the body. The body is currently supine on the floor. What is the most accurate interpretation of these findings?
