Reading a Heroin Overdose Autopsy Report?
I am having a hard time reading my brother's autopsy report. He died of a heroin overdose. -He was 25 years old, 6'1'' and 189 pounds Toxicology: -Morphine (free) of 370 ng/ml -6-mono-acetyl morphine of 16 ng/ml -Codeine (free) of 15 ng/ml -Alprazolam of 34 ng/ml -amphetamine of 22 ng/ml Slightly dilated cardiomyopathy (440 grams) Pulmonary Congestion What do all of these numbers mean? He had a history of heroin use, oxycontin, and adderall they found him in his bathroom with a small blue plastic bag with a white crystalline substance and a spoon with cotton and burned debris including a small chunk of brown crystalline substance. There was a 1cc syringe with 60 units of clear fluid in it. I am currently a 2nd year pre med student, and I like to know details about things. I want to know what all of this means in the autopsy report. Thanks
