  • Title: Homicidal intoxications by lye- and parachlorcresol-containing disinfectants.
    Author: Jonsson J, Voigt GE.
    Journal: Am J Forensic Med Pathol; 1984 Mar; 5(1):57-63. PubMed ID: 6711519.
    Abstract:
    In a nursing section for 54 senile, demented inpatients for the period of 3 months, a casual worker committed homicide in 11 cases and attempted homicide in 16 cases by peroral application of lye- and parachlorcresol-containing disinfectants. Autopsies had been performed in nearly all of the fatal cases without detection of the true causes of death. The fatal intoxications could be verified through reexamination of the lung slides and through gas chromatography/mass spectrometry of the formalin-fixed tissue specimens.
