of Toxicology Results
Note: This information has been provided as a reference guide only. Toxicologists at
the North Carolina Office of the Chief Medical Examiner (NC-OCME) are limited
to interpreting information for our own cases. If your inquiry does not concern
a medical examiner case from North Carolina your email will be discarded without
response.
There are numerous expert consultants who can be contacted for such inquiries.
The Society of Forensic Toxicologists ( www.soft-tox.org )
and the American Academy of Forensic Sciences ( www.aafs.org )
provide links that may help you contact some of these experts. The NC-OCME Toxicology
Laboratory has no business affiliation with these consultants and, as such, does
not specifically recommend any of them.
