  • Abstract:
  • Forensic toxicology plays a critical role in the investigation of deaths and crimes by analyzing biological samples to detect and quantify the presence of drugs, alcohol, and other toxic substances. This study examines the application of advanced analytical techniques, such as liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS), to enhance the sensitivity and specificity of toxicological analyses. We analyzed post-mortem samples from a cohort of suspected overdose cases to identify common substances and their metabolites. The findings reveal a significant prevalence of opioids and stimulants, underscoring the complexities of poly-drug use in contemporary forensic cases. This research highlights the importance of accurate toxicological assessment in legal contexts and suggests potential pathways for improving clinical and forensic toxicology practices.
