Abstract
This study of medicolegal cases describes a population of deceased persons where death was generally caused by ingestion of numerous drugs, of which diazepam was only 1 agent. This drug occurred with high frequency relative to the total case load at each site, but its toxicological importance was often of a low order, and its role in the fatal cases was judged as minimal.This publication has 4 references indexed in Scilit:
