  • Abstract:
  • We provide toxicology analysis for victims in death investigations to determine if other substances were the cause of death or contributed to the trauma. Drug concentrations may vary from pre- to end-stage due to changes in pharmacokinetics, treatment during recovery or in the intensive care unit, depression, or the presence of drug tolerance. The potential for disease modification should be considered with all drugs but few. The creation of new organisms as well as the destruction of drugs that arise from decaying corpses. In addition, body fluids and tissues are highly susceptible to autolysis and decomposition. Samples should be selected based on individual case history and availability. Analytical procedures should be performed on a quality assurance basis appropriate for toxicology research. Problems arise when separating and defining a drug. The interpretation of analysis results is often limited by the information provided in a given case.
