Post-Mortem Toxicology / Homicide / Poisoning Investigations
Did drugs or poisons contribute to or cause the death?
IFC offers legal professionals, law enforcement and medical practitioners, a consulting and testing service for an independent, confidential and authoritative assessment of circumstances surrounding death:
What do the results mean? Are the results high or in the therapeutic range? Could the levels change after death and if so what does this mean? IFC can help interpret drug findings and have more than 20 years experience in post-mortem toxicology
Could more tests be done? We can recommend or organise independent analyses
Findings don’t make sense? We can help with further investigations
IFC can provide:
Evaluation of autopsy reports and determination of drug contribution to death
Forensic autopsy analysis to assist pathologists in making cause of death determinations
Poison identification and differential diagnosis of chemically induced diseases
Expert witness testimony in support of opinions and test results
A quick phone call or brief consultation can help you determine what was found and importantly what was not found or what could have been missed.
