In the Federal Republic of Germany a lethal accident occurred recently during the semen collection from a stallion and it would be advisable to observe the safety rules of which there are three sections: hobbeling and if necessary twitching of the mare, security in the manner in which the stallion is led, precautions to be observed by the operator.
Report on observations from the last ten years with covert administration of drugs (ketamine, lorazepam, temazepam) as well as other anesthetics (chloroform) in which the subsequent clouding of consciousness or unconsciousness was exploited for criminal acts. These were sexual abuse and robbery; in one case, the anesthesized person was the victim of a flat fire, and in the other case forced breathing of chloroform led to fatal intoxication. The examples show that without routine chemical and toxicological investigations in unclear circumstances of death, but also when the cause of death ist apparently certain, the underlying cause may easily be overlooked. Furthermore, covert administration of anesthetics in alcoholic drinks and subsequent robbery is still to be reckoned with in the appropriate milieu.
Lethal cocaine intoxications in the Federal republic of Germany are still rather unusual. The present article describes chemical findings in a suicide case after oral/nasal intake. Our experience as well as the results of literature leads to the conclusion that if a cocaine intoxication is suspected, examinations are required which should include parts of the brain, the kidneys and the spleen. The application of RIA or rather the EMIT-Procedure only are not sufficient to clear up an intoxication.

A post mortem examination of a 29 year-old man who had committed suicide by shooting himself in the head revealed pronounced discoloration of the contents of the intestines and an intensive odour of garlic from the organs. Chemical examination gave no indications for pesticides; the coloring matter was identified by electrophoresis as a constituent of beetroot.

Report about 2 death cases due to an overdosage of phenothiacine derivates. The EMIT-test showed positive results concerning opiates for both cases. But morphine only was detected in one case by a fluorimetric method. The EMIT-test for opiates can show positive results in error, if there exist phenothiacines in the specimen at the same time.
