BACKGROUND
At the turn of 2007/2008, four Norwegian men died after ingestion of commercially available supposedly denatured ethanol.
MATERIAL AND METHODS
The four deaths are presented and discussed.
RESULTS
Methanol concentrations, consistent with lethal methanol poisoning, were detected in blood and urine for all four. The imbibed mixture was subsequently shown to contain a 70/30 mixture of methanol/ethanol.
INTERPRETATION
The events emphasize the importance of investigating methanol findings from deceased to identify the source, and that investigations are instigated promptly to prevent further exposure.
