Abstract

Viscera samples forwarded to forensic science laboratory are analyzed in toxicology division. In many cases the relatives and other source during inquest indicate that affected had consumed insecticide or poison, but many times the chemical analysis does not reveal any chemical poison. To find out the exact cause of such discrepancy, this nine year comparative study has been carried out. Organophosphorus, Organochloro and Carbamate insecticides are extensively used in India and most often for suicide purpose. The present study was undertaken to know the incidence of insecticidal poisoning and chemical examination of ante mortem and post mortem samples. This study is the sincere effort to throw light on importance of gastric aspirate in poisoning cases where deceased received treatment before death
