abstract="We present a fatal case involving poisoning with paroxetine, flunitrazepam, and ethanol, with putrefactive changes. Quantitative toxicological analysis showed that the concentrations of paroxetine and 7-aminoflunitrazepam, a metabolite of flunitrazepam, in the femoral blood were 0.28 µg/ml and 0.17 µg/ml, respectively. We also detected an ethanol level of 2.90 mg/ml and an n-propanol level of 0.10 mg/ml. We concluded that the cause of death was due to the interaction of paroxetine, flunitrazepam, and ethanol. The effects of putrefactive changes should be considered during forensic toxicological evaluation.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
