SIBON OLANO, A.; MARTINEZ-GARCIA, P.; VIZCAYA ROJAS, MA. e ROMERO PALANCO, JL.. Poisoning by carbon monoxide. Cuad. med. forense [online]. 2007, n.47, pp.65-69. ISSN 1988-611X.
Several authors recommend to perform a toxicological analysis in practically every forensic autopsy, specifically when the macroscopical examination does not reveal sufficiently the cause of death. The absence of pathognomonic findings in the majority of poisonings support this recommendation. However; in some cases autopsy findings are indicative of the causative agent. For instance, the red cherry coloration from livor mortis are suggestive of a carbon monoxide or cyanide poisoning.
