Abstract

Fatalities from methamphetamine overdose remain relatively rare despite its widespread abuse. A case history involving a fatal methamphetamine overdose at the site of a clandestine laboratory is presented. Evidence from the scene, a record of conversations relevant to the victim's state of intoxication prior to death as well as pathological and toxicological findings are reviewed.
