- Summary:
- Specimens from fatal aviation accident victims are submitted to the FAA Civil Aerospace Medical Institute for toxicological analysis. Ethanol analysis is performed on all cases. Care must be taken when interpreting a positive ethanol result due to the potential for postmortem ethanol formation. Recently, our lab developed and validated an analytical method for conclusively determining whether recent antemortem ethanol consumption had occurred. In the current study, this new method was applied to five ethanol-positive aviation fatalities where the origin of the ethanol present could not previously be conclusively determined.
