The analysis included three cases autopsied at the Forensic Medicine Department in Bialystok at the beginning of 2009. The toxicological analysis of samples of blood and urine did not confirm the presence of MDMA, also known as ecstasy, but it revealed the presence of para methoxy amphetamine (PMA). During post-mortem examinations, the cause of the death was not established in either case. Based on the above investigations it may be said that the common cause of death was acute para methoxy amphetamine (PMA) poisoning.
