Quantitative analysis using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry revealed that the concentrations of triazolam were 72ng/ml, 120ng/ml, 12ng/ml and 12,190ng/g in the femoral venous blood, heart blood, urine and stomach contents respectively. We concluded that the cause of death was due to triazolam overdose.
