N2  - Background. At the turn of 2007/2008, four Norwegian men died after ingestion of commercially available supposedly denatured ethanol. Material and methods. The four deaths are presented and discussed. Results. Methanol concentrations, consistent with lethal methanol poisoning, were detected in blood and urine for all four. The imbibed mixture was subsequently shown to contain a 70/30 mixture of methanol/ethanol. Interpretation. The events emphasize the importance of investigating methanol findings from deceased to identify the source, and that investigations are instigated promptly to prevent further exposure.<p />  <p>Language: no</p>
