| Abstrakt: | Background: At the turn of 2007/2008, four Norwegian men died after ingestion of commercially available supposedly denatured ethanol. Material and Methods: The four deaths are presented and discussed. Results: Methanol concentrations, consistent with lethal methanol poisoning, were detected in blood and urine for all four. The imbibed mixture was subsequently shown to contain a 70/30 mixture of methanol/ethanol. Interpretation: The events emphasize the importance of investigating methanol findings from deceased to identify the source, and that investigations are instigated promptly to prevent further exposure. |
