    This study quantifies ethylmorphine in biological samples following a fatal ingestion. Hair analysis revealed a shift in drug abuse patterns, indicating a switch from heroin to ethylmorphine.

    Area of Science:

    • Forensic Toxicology
    • Analytical Chemistry

    Background:

    • Quantification of ethylmorphine in biological matrices is crucial for forensic investigations.
    • Oral ingestion of ethylmorphine can lead to toxicological findings.

    Observation:

    • Capillary gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) was utilized for ethylmorphine analysis.
    • Ethylmorphine was detected in biological fluids and tissues from a deceased individual.

    Findings:

    • Femoral blood ethylmorphine concentration was determined to be 488 ng/ml.
    • Hair analysis provided insights into the individual's historical drug use patterns.

    Implications:

    • This case highlights the importance of comprehensive toxicological analysis in drug-related deaths.
