Depends: Depends on the environment the body is in, faster if dead person is in the northern canada or on a beach in the south pacific.

30 minutes or more: In a person dying at room temperature, you may notice the body feeling cool at 30 minutes. No one will miss the body feeling cold at 10 hours.
