TY - JOUR PY - 1985// TI - Multiple deaths resulting from shipboard exposure to trichlorotrifluoroethane JO - Journal of forensic sciences A1 - Clark, Melissa A. A1 - Jones, J. W.

SP - 1256 EP - 1259 VL - 30 IS - 4 N2 - During the course of dockside ship maintenance, a compartment was partially flooded with tricholotrifluoroethane gas. One sailor entered the compartment, collapsed, and was then rescued by two other men. All three victims then climbed a 11-m (36-ft) ladder and collapsed. They all experienced a rapid development of cardiac arrest. We report on the pathologic, toxicologic, and pathophysiologic aspects of the incident.
