Abstract

A 24-year-old male was found dead in a car left in a river for about 3 months. The cadaver was almost adipoceratous and autopsy findings revealed that there were neither remarkable injuries nor lethal diseases. Toluene, ethanol, 1-propanol, 2-propanol, 1-butanol, dimethyl sulfide, dimethyl disulfide, isovaleraldehyde and n-butyl n-butyrate were detected in the specimens collected at the autopsy by head space gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS). The toluene concentrations (micrograms/g) were 31.0 in brain, 10.6 in liver, 5.4 in kidney, 15.0 in skeletal muscle and 187.1 in adipose tissue. The presence of diatom in lung, liver and kidney suggested that death was caused by drowning. So far as we know, this is the first report of detection of toluene in an adipoceratous body.

摘要

一名24岁男性被发现死于一辆被弃置于河中约3个月的汽车内。尸体几乎已尸蜡化，尸检结果显示既无明显外伤也无致命疾病。通过顶空气相色谱/质谱联用仪（GC/MS）对尸检时采集的标本进行检测，发现了甲苯、乙醇、1-丙醇、2-丙醇、1-丁醇、二甲基硫醚、二甲基二硫醚、异戊醛和丁酸正丁酯。甲苯浓度（微克/克）在脑中为31.0，在肝脏中为10.6，在肾脏中为5.4，在骨骼肌中为15.0，在脂肪组织中为187.1。在肺、肝脏和肾脏中发现硅藻表明死亡原因是溺水。据我们所知，这是关于在尸蜡化尸体中检测到甲苯的首次报告。
