@Writeous0ne The accuracy of the two-exponential model of body cooling, or Andrews' nomogram, for estimating the time since death when the body is in water can be impacted by several factors.
When a body is submerged in water, the ambient temperature of the body is that of the water, which can greatly affect the rate of cooling. Additionally, the temperature of the water may not be constant, which can further complicate the accuracy of the nomogram method.
Additionally, the presence of water can accelerate the rate of decomposition, which can also affect the accuracy of the nomogram. Furthermore, the presence of water can also result in the washing away of external evidence that can be used to estimate the PMI, such as insects or other invertebrates.
Therefore, the use of the nomogram method for estimating the time since death in cases of drowning is generally considered less reliable and and less accurate when the body is in water.

@Writeous0ne The longer a body is in water, the more difficult it is to estimate the time since death, or post mortem interval. This is because as the body continues to decompose in the water, changes to the body become increasingly complex and more difficult to interpret, making it challenging to determine the PMI accurately. The longer the body is in the water, the less likely it is that evidence that can be used to estimate the PMI, such as internal organs, tissues, bodily fluids, insects or other invertebrates, will be preserved, and the presence of water will result in the washing away of any external evidence.
