  • Title: From Death to Death Certificate: What do the Dead say?
    Author: Gill JR.
    Journal: J Med Toxicol; 2017 Mar; 13(1):111-116. PubMed ID: 27139707.
    Abstract:
    This is an overview of medicolegal death investigation and death certification. Postmortem toxicological analysis, particularly for ethanol and drugs of abuse, plays a large role in the forensic investigation of natural and unnatural deaths. Postmortem drug concentrations must be interpreted in light of the autopsy findings and circumstances. Interpretations of drug and ethanol concentrations are important for death certification, but they also may be important for other stakeholders such as police, attorneys, public health practitioners, and the next-of-kin.
