Carbon monoxide was most often found to be the cause of deaths in this study. The most prevalent drugs were narcotics followed by antidepressants, cocaine, and barbiturates.

Systems for human identification.

The methods and techniques used in Categories 1, 2, and 3 are the least reliable because of their subjective nature as well as the ever-present potential for human error. These methods are valuable, however, as adjuncts in identification procedures in a total exclusionary and inclusionary comparison. The methods and techniques described in Category 4 have a more scientific basis, but still caution must be used, and, prior to the completion of the death certificate, a complete evaluation should be made of all techniques employed in the identification.
