Typically, but not necessarily. Since you didn't specify the nature of the toxicology report. If the report is in conjunction with a drinking and driving offense, for example, then yes. If it is grain alcohol, it will be designated on the tox report as one of the following: EtOH, ethanol, ethyl alcohol, or grain alcohol. Having said that, toxicology reports may include other alcohols including methanol depending on the nature of the investigation.
a subsequent toxicology report showed Dunn had a blood alcohol level of 0.196% - more than twice the state's maximum legal limit of 0.08%.
lavender, red, gray
It is a sign that the blood is decomposing, breaking down, and decaying.
Yes, they are the same.
yes it can, maybe the numbers they gave you were wrong or they did the test wrong
Blood is pumped through the liver where alcohol is metabolized and removed. Ethanol within the human body is converted into acetaldehyde by alcohol dehydrogenase and then into acetic acid by acetaldehyde dehydrogenase. The product of the first step of this breakdown, acetaldehyde, is even more toxic than ethanol.
No. Actually no one has a BAC of zero because the human body produces ethanol 24/7. It's called endogenous ethanol production.
It shows the specific toxins in which you have been exposed
The subject tested has diabetes. The metabolism of starch creates ethanol in the blood and also causes a detectable level of acetone on the breath. (detected by breathalyzer)
The cause of death is still to be determined. After receiving the toxicology report, the Winehouse family stated that there were no illegal drugs found in her system.
The blood test results were shown as an ethanol value of 258. Can I assume that is 258 ml/dl. When I do the conversion 258 divided by 1.18= 218.64. Dose that give me a BAC of .218?
Nope - its main constituent is capsaicin - a chemical derived from the fruiting bodies of Capsicum plants. While ethanol (a type of alcohol) is used in the production process, the ethanol is not part of the final product - and therefore will have no affect on blood alcohol levels.
