Abstract

A 29-year-old male was found dead in his apartment with no visible injuries and after autopsy, no known cause of death could be determined. Suspicious circumstances including blood stains on the walls led the police to believe that foul play may have occurred. Toxicology results revealed high concentrations of 5-methoxy-N, N-diisopropyltryptamine in the blood, urine, arid vitreous humour, as well as cocaine and significant concentrations of cocaine metabolites.
