[Circumstances and toxicological characteristics of deadly opiates poisoning]
Abstract:
Facts of prehospital death of 109 heroin addicts are analysed and systematized. It is shown that examination of the corpse at the point of detection may provide information on the circumstances of death and its cause. Correlation between morphine concentration in the corpse tissues and circumstances of death is studied. It is found that information about the victim and facts of his/her death suggest cause of death and help in directions of post-mortem examination and choice of diagnostic procedures.
