Question: if someone dies from a cocaine overdose would rigamortis set in imidiatly? 

Answer: Rigor mortis sets in after the body dies when the body has high amounts of lactic acid build up. It happens the same time with any type of death. I have a theory and I'm not sure that it's true. It may depend upon the person's body weight how quickly it would occur.
