TY - JOUR PY - 2007// TI - Fatal MDMA-intoxication with postmortem diagnosis of hyperthermia JO - Archiv für Kriminologie A1 - Wirth, Ingo A1 - Correns, Andreas A1 - Pragst, Fritz A1 - Schmeling, Andreas SP - 141 EP - 151 VL - 220 IS - 5-6 N2 - Hyperthermia is one of the main symptoms of the toxic MDMA effect. In a fatal intoxication, the premortal increase in body temperature may lead to a false assessment of the time of death. The problems of drug-induced hyperthermia faced by forensic pathologists and criminal investigators are discussed on the basis of a death from the autopsy material of the Berlin Institute of Legal Medicine (CCM).
