title: [Sudden death in a drug milieu following use of an appetite suppressant].
abstract: Chemical-toxicological analysis of blood and tissue samples from a drug-dependent person which had been found dead revealed the presence of propylhexedrine. The blood concentration was estimated to be 3.75 mg/l, this value may explain a fatal intoxication. However, death was obviously due to massive blood aspiration from nasal bleeding.
