The coroner has ruled it heart disease pending toxicology reports. There is no history of heart disease on his maternal side, but his father was adopted, so there is no medical history from his paternal side. My dad is also adopted, and we dont have a medical history on that side either. So my questions are will I ever know what exactly happened, meaning will I ever know the type (if you will) of heart disease.
OK just as i thought, the toxicology showed that it was not a suicide, but rather a deadly mix of xanax and methadone (both in small doses) that took my brother's life. He had been so optimistic in his letters to his girlfriend the last 6 months, that the thought that he took his own life never made sense. Now we know for sure that he didn't. The Doc said that the drug n alcohol abuse weakened him, and that the small doses on the final night were enough to slow his respiration.
s passing, a golden retriever, and burial in the woods, i can learn about the manner of his passing through forensics and toxicology. I assume a Vet can tell apart broken ribs or any bone that occured post-mortum as rock were piled above the dirt etc and any blows while he was still alive.
Note that its very hot.
How is the dog after 2 weeks? Can i learn anything if so much time has passed? How much would a vet and any toxicology tests cost?

The study is on hold while the company provides responses to questions arising from a nonclinical toxicology study in non-human primates using EX1, the company’s liver-targeted, intravenously administered delivery vehicle.
The FDA did not indicate the clinical hold was based on any human findings. To date, EX1 has been administered over 800 times in more than 300 human study subjects and patients.
will do.. never knew there was such a thing as toxicology specialist would that be an endochronologist?Thanks for responding.
I know for a fact that every time I had to give urine for testing, while on methadone program, I had a legit prescribed prescription for 2 mg Clonazepam 3x a day and my toxicology report always came back negative for benzos. But if I would take a Xanax, not prescribed, it always came back positive for benzos.
I'm so sorry for your loss...I know that the toxicology report can sometimes take up to 8 weeks to get back,perhaps they will give you some answers....God bless you and your family during this sorrowful time....Peace...

- Echocardiogram, normal
- Extensive blood work, everything from basic blood work, to kidney function and kidney hormones, adrenal-related hormones, stress-related hormones, toxicology, all normal except normetanephrines which were slightly elevated (suggestive of Pheochromocytoma, later ruled out via MRI)

I'm a 48yr old male, 5'08" 155. Friday night I went to the ER with chest discomfort. My BP was about 166/100 and heart rate in high 90's. blood tests and toxicology were done. Troponin levels were fine, previous cholesterol was 118, but now showing 176. The doctor kept me overnight and wanted to do a nuclear stress test. My results are as follows for a regadenoson gated spect left ventricle myocardial perfusion study.
He had been complaining of a stomach ache and being a little nauseous but nothing alarming. He was not a drug user, but would drink alcohol daily. I know an autopsy is being performed but I'm hoping to maybe get some advice before then. My world has been turned upside down and I want answers.
Please help!!
Both REP 9AC and REP 9AC’ were shown to rapidly and effectively remove HBsAg from the blood of patients with HBV infection.
Toxicology has to be run separate .It is not routine even if say you go into the ER they are not going to check your blood unless your illness would point in the derection of drugs or alcohol.The only other time it might be checked is if say they think some chemical is making you ill,even then they would be looking for specific things.So dont worry you will be fine.
toxin ingestion, internal wounds from trauma, electric burns, bleeding disorders, lightening strike, gastrointestinal torsion, lung torsion, heart worm disease, heart failure, splenic tumor that bursts, Lyme nephropathy and many many more can also cause sudden death. Only toxicology screens, blood work, a post-mortem exam and other diagnostics may be able to determine the cause of death.
