Abstract

In the eight years from 1975 to 1982, 11 262 ***coronial**autopsies were performed in the School of Medicine, Auckland. Three hundred and ninety-four of the deaths were due to the action of a drug or poison. In this paper we examine the motives and circumstances, age and sex distribution, drugs used and other aspects of these 394 deaths.
