註釋The purpose of this study was to determine how drug findings in intracranial hematomas should be assessed in forensic autopsy cases. Six cases in which intracranial hematomas containing drugs and chemicals were detected were examined in this study. Of the six cases, five were positive for drugs and chemicals that had been self-administered by the victims prior to injury. Posttraumatic time interval from injury to death was in the range 10 to 65 h. In two individuals who were positive for norephedrine or toluene, the concentrations of these substances were much higher in the intracranial hematomas than in heart blood. In an individual who was positive for phenobarbital, its concentration was only a little higher in the intracranial hematoma than in heart blood. In the remaining two cases, substantial quantities of ethanol were detected in the intracranial hematomas, but little ethanol was detected in heart blood.
