Person of Interest - what does this quote mean?

[sunglassesonmyhead]

My friend is learning English and wonders what the bolded quote means - I have no idea as I don't watch the programme - can anyone advise please?! Is it a joke?!

00:09:26 Not good.

00:09:27 Ran over an IED in Hellmans.

00:09:29 Lasted a whole week before he hit room temperature.

00:09:32 Rest in peace.

00:09:33 Tough son of a bitch.

I haven't seen the programme but the bolded quote suggests the person was cold (i.e. unemotional)

Or maybe just physically cold?

They monitor people constantly, that's what the time stamps are.

If it was a deep frozen body that could explain it

Sounds good to me, thank you!

Flippin' love MN, I do

It's the other way round: cooling not warming, and they are saying that he died, once you hit room temp you are dead.

Presumably this was preceded by a question about someone?
'Any news of X?'
'Not good, he ran over an improvised explosive device in Helmand, survived for a whole week, Rest in peace, Tough SOB (impressed at surviving so long in face of horrible injuries).

I think your version makes more sense Water

Yes so room temperature not body temperature means he's dead and no longer controlling his own temperature.

Oh, of course! It's like Raymond Chandler dialogue. I had in my head the way they do that tracking thing and it was different people. I loved that programme, must try to catch up
