During an autopsy, carbon monoxide (CO) exposure can be indicated by the presence of a bright red coloration of the blood, known as "cherry red" discoloration. Blood samples can be analyzed for carboxyhemoglobin levels, which measures the percentage of hemoglobin bound to carbon monoxide. Elevated levels of carboxyhemoglobin confirm CO poisoning. Additionally, examination of the lungs and brain can reveal signs consistent with hypoxia due to CO exposure.
