[Suicidal chloroform poisoning].
The results of the autopsy and of the toxicological analysis of a suicidal poisoning case by chloroform inhalation of a man (28) are described. The cause of death was acute cardiac failure, accompanied by centrolobular liver necroses. Quantitative analytical results (e.g. blood 47, liver 188, kidney 144, brain 74, urine 2 ug/ml, determined by head space GC were in agreement with literature data. The low concentration in stomach content indicated inhalation in accordance to the findings on site.
