A death investigation involving quinidine and propranolol

A death attributed to quinidine-propranolol intoxication is described. Toxicological analysis of the tissues utilized thin layer (TLC) and gas-liquid (GLC) chromatography, ultraviolet (UV) spectrophotometry and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Tissue levels for both drugs, along with their chemical ionization mass spectra, are presented.
