Description: Autopsy reports and other postmortem findings tell the story of what happened to a person before they died. This session will cover the basics of postmortem toxicology for legal professionals, including what happens in the body after death, how postmortem changes affect drug levels, and what the different sources of drug levels are in the deceased. Explore how drug levels may be tied to the cause of death in cases involving overdose, prescription medication, impairment, or street drug use. Review what information a toxicologist needs to help answer your questions in a postmortem case.
