[Drug fatalities with cadaver dumping].

7 cases of "dumping" of the bodies of drug addicts are reported. Circumstances of the case, findings at the scene, autopsy findings and confessions raised already the suspicion that the bodies were not found at the scene of death. In 5 cases the "dumping" of the bodies was outside, in 2 cases inside a house. Identification of the bodies was always easy, since personal papers (passport, identity card) were still present and no attempts were made to prevent identification. The prevalent motivation for "dumping" seems to be not to be identified as drug addict or dealer or to be brought in connection with the death of drug addicts.

[Routine case of "auto-erotic accident"--surprising turn in evaluation of cause of death after chemical-toxicologic analysis].

A man with indications of autoerotic manipulations was found dead in his flat and a homicide had to be excluded. Diverse material found in the flat suggested that the man was a consumer of cocaine. But the analyses of blood, urine and organs showed high concentrations of amphetamine and it was thought about an unintentionally mix-up with cocaine. A hair analysis was made and only amphetamine was detected. Therefore the utensils (mirror, razor-blade and sniff-pipe) belong to a rare nasal consumption of amphetamine.
