abstract="A man found unresponsive after a physical altercation subsequently died after cardiopulmonary resuscitation efforts proved futile. Autopsy revealed only soft tissue injuries to the face without significant scalp bruising or craniocerebral trauma, insufficient to cause death. Toxicological analysis revealed high body fluid alcohol (ethanol) concentrations, blood: 88.4 mmol/L (407 mg/dL), urine: 114.6 mmol/L (528 mg/dL), and vitreous humour 97.0 mmol/L (447 mg/dL). Cause of death was attributed to the combination of high alcohol central nervous system depressant effects and concussive brain injury.<p />",
