The purpose of this research was to investigate the manner of deaths in Marion County, throughout the years of 2018 to 2021 to see if there were any correlative increases in homicide, suicide, natural, accidental, or drug overdose related deaths. We surveyed the incidence of all deaths that occurred from 2018 through 2021 which came through the Marion County Coroner’s Office, Indiana. The data was then divided into two halves. According to the data, the leading manner of death in the first half and second half was accidental. This study revealed a total of 8732 cases: 3817 of them were observed to be accidental, 3092 natural, 956 homicide, 689 suicide, and 178 were undetermined. There were initially 318 drug overdose related deaths in 2018 and they increased to 2163 by 2021. In 2018, the number of deaths due to fentanyl related overdoses increased from 195 to 799 in 2021. This research will contribute to the forensic science field by providing information about the manner of death and fentanyl trends in Marion County over the last four years.

Suicidal drug overdose is a major public health issue.In the United States,every year more than 33,000 people commit suicides.Our study focused on the characteristics of suicide victims in the state of Maryland.Material and methods:This study was a retrospective review of autopsy cases of all suicide deaths caused by drug(s)or drug(s)with alcohol intoxication investigated by the OCME in Maryland over a 7-year period from January 2004 to December 2011.All deaths investigated by the OCME that require autopsy examination are subject to comprehensive toxicology testing for drugs and alcohol.The screen tests were performed using gas chromatography(GC)and radioimmunoassay techniques.All detected drugs and/or metabolites were confirmed using GC-mass spectrometry(GC-MS).Results:From 2004 to 2011,434 deaths were certified as suicide.Of the 434 suicidal overdose deaths,84%were white,11%were African-American,and about 5%were either Hispanic or Asian.The male and female ratio was almost equal.Their ages ranged 15-82 years.Of the 434 suicidal drug overdose deaths,277 victims(63.8%)consumed a single drug type and 157(36.2%)consumed more than one type of drug.Of the 277 single-drug overdose cases,71.1%suicides were due to prescription drugs,23.5%due to over-the-counter drugs,and 5.4%due to street/recreational drugs.Among single-type prescription drugs,analgesic(N=76),antidepressant(N=45),and neuroleptic(N=35)classes were the three leading type of drugs used in suicidal deaths.Oxycodone,morphine,quetiapine,and amitriptyline were the most common prescription drugs in suicidal overdose.Diphenhydramine was the leading over-the-counter drug.Of the 157 victims who consumed more than one drug,combined prescription drugs were present in 54.1%,mixed prescription and overthe-counter drugs in 29.3%,and prescription drugs/over-the-counter drugs and street drugs in 16.6%of cases.Of the multiple-drug overdose suicides,66.2%cases involved antidepressants.Discussion:Suicide is found in every age,racial,and ethnic group.In the USA,poisoning is

BACKGROUND Dextromethorphan is a prevalent antitussive agent that can be easily obtained as an over-the-counter medication.There has been a growing number of reported cases of toxicity in recent years.Generally,there are numerous instances of mild symptoms,with only a limited number of reports of severe cases necessitating intensive care.We presented the case of a female who ingested 111 tablets of dextromethorphan,leading to shock and convulsions and requiring intensive care that ultimately saved her life.CASE SUMMARY A 19-year-old female was admitted to our hospital via ambulance,having overdosed on 111 tablets of dextromethorphan(15 mg)obtained through an online importer in a suicide attempt.The patient had a history of drug abuse and multiple self-inflicted injuries.At the time of admission,she exhibited symptoms of shock and altered consciousness.However,upon arrival at the hospital,the patient experienced recurrent generalized clonic convulsions and status epilepticus,necessitating tracheal intubation.The convulsions were determined to have been caused by decreased cerebral perfusion pressure secondary to shock,and noradrenaline was administered as a vasopressor.Gastric lavage and activated charcoal were also administered after intubation.Through systemic management in the intensive care unit,the patient’s condition stabilized,and the need for vasopressors ceased.The patient regained consciousness and was extubated.The patient was subsequently transferred to a psychiatric facility,as suicidal ideation persisted.CONCLUSION We report the first case of shock caused by an overdose of dextromethorphan.

Immune responses in fatalities involving opioids

引用

Forensic Sciences Research 2019年第2期4卷 195-198页

作者： Henry J.Carson Linn County Medical Examiner’s Office Cedar RapidsIAUSA

In some cases of fatalities involving opioid use,the concentrations of detected opioids are not in the toxic range.Immune reactions can be triggered by opioid use,suggesting that immune response may be a factor in these cases.Autopsy cases from 2002–2012 were reviewed.Persons with physical,microscopic or serum evidence of allergic reactions and opioid use at autopsy were compared to persons who used opioids but had no such signs.Overall,49 persons were identified who had used opioids,of which five had evidence of immune response.A medical history of asthma was significantly more common in persons with signs of immune response(P=0.0244)and fatality(P=0.0085)compared to normals.A history of asthma is suggestive of susceptibility to immunologic reactions to opioids,and correlates strongly with the cause of death.
