Abstract

Lethal cocaine intoxications in the Federal republic of Germany are still rather unusual. The present article describes chemical findings in a suicide case after oral/nasal intake. Our experience as well as the results of literature leads to the conclusion that if a cocaine intoxication is suspected, examinations are required which should include parts of the brain, the kidneys and the spleen. The application of RIA or rather the EMIT-Procedure only are not sufficient to clear up an intoxication.
