Abstract: | The present report describes a witnessed, fatal attack of seizures. Very high levels of trimipramine were found in the blood collected at autopsy. The cause of death would most likely have been misinterpreted as a suicidal intoxication if the attack had not been witnessed. Conversely, if toxicologic examination had not been undertaken, the fatality would probably have been registered as epilepsia. |
