TY - JOUR PY - 1977// TI - A suicide by thiopentone injection JO - American educational research journal A1 - Bruce, A. M. A1 - Oliver, J. S. A1 - Smith, H. SP - 205 EP - 207 VL - 9 IS - 3 N2 - Post-mortem tissues from a thiopentone suicide were analysed by ultraviolet spectrometry and gas chromatography. The thiopentone concentrations found (0.6 mg/100 ml of blood and 2 6 mg/100 g of tissue) are consistent with those reported for 'anaesthetic' deaths where only thiopentone and other anaesthetic agents were present. The gas chromatographic method gave more accurate result with the tissues.
