Yes and no. The fingerprint was a significant clue in the Adventure of the Norwood Builder (a story in The Return of Sherlock Holmes) but I'd spoil the story if I told you all, so please read it.I'll tell you this much. Inspector Lestrade found the bloodied print. He compared it to that of the suspect he had arrested. Lestrade thought he had his murderer. Holmes proved he did not.
Sherlock Homes was a man. And, just make sure you know that Sherlock Holmes was not real life detective, only a well thought of character in a book.

Sherlock Holmes used a seven percent solution of cocaine quite often. And there is a questionable mention of opium use I discovered while reading the "The man with the twisted lip". Holmes was prescribed morphine by a physician after being wounded in "The Adventure of the Illustrious Client."
The Guy Ritchie Sherlock Holmes movie is not based on any Sir Arthur Conan Doyle story. Conan Doyle used no illusions or brainwashing in any of the Sherlock Holmes stories.

The 2009 film 'Sherlock Holmes' has been rated a '12A' because it has moderate violence and threat, drug use and sexual references (including one scene of nudity).
Sherlock Holmes is an interesting literary character.

Sherlock Holmes amazes readers by his ability to plumb the deepest mysteries.
The reader is not told, but the term high school was not in use at that time or place.

Use of cocaine.When Holmes was bored and didn't have a case to work on, he would take a 7% solution of cocaine.
