Abstract

The postmortem toxicology helps in determining the cause of death and information on events immediately before death. Forensic toxicologists receive various types of biological samples with putrefaction process which pose a greater challenge in chemical analysis. Interpretation of analytical toxicology results must incorporate pharmacokinetics and toxicology of the agents in question, the circumstances under which death occurred including the mechanism of exposure. The aim of present study is to describe the type of biological samples submitted for toxicological analysis in forensic toxicology section and factors associated in their analysis.

Keywords: Putrified tissue, Toxicology and forensic analysis.
