Postmortem Analysis of Ethyl Alcohol Concentration in Blood, Urine, Muscle and Bile
In addition to blood and urine, muscle and bile samples may be taken at autopsy to detect ethyl alcohol. The results of the study show that there may be differences in the levels of ethyl alcohol in different body fluids after death. These data are therefore important for the assessment of ethyl alcohol concentrations in both clinical and forensic practice.
