A case report involving a 16-years-old woman who was found dead by her brother in the room is presented. At the time of her death, she was being treated with propranolol, fluoxetine, doxepin, alprazolam, amitriptyline, and lorazepam. Her family stated that she had been prescribed two weeks of medicine at the hospital the day before she died, and there were 42 empty paper envelopes on the desk. The manner of death was not founded in autopsy, and femoral venous blood, cardiac blood, and stomach contents were collected and analyzed. Propranolol, fluoxetine, doxepin, alprazolam, amitriptyline, nortriptyline, and lorazepam were detected in autopsy specimens. Protein precipitation was adopted in sample preparation, and liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry (LC/MS/MS) was used for identification and quantification. The concentrations of propranolol (5.56 mg/L), fluoxetine (5.10 mg/L), doxepin (0.27 mg/L), and alprazolam (0.11 mg/L) detected in femoral venous blood were within the toxic or lethal range, and amitriptyline (0.45 mg/L) and lorazepam (0.13 mg/L) were in therapeutic range. Based on these results, combined drug intoxication resulting in synergistic effect on organ dysfunction and central nervous system depression has been proposed as the cause of death. This case can be considered as a good reference when examining the correlation between postmortem blood concentrations and doses.

법과학 분야는 사회정의 구현에 있어 크나큰 가치가 있음에도 불구하고 우리나라에서는 이 분야에 대한 인식이 미흡하여 선진 외국에 비해 침체되어 있는 실정이다. 이에 우리나라에서도 법과학 분야와 관련 있는 학계, 연구기관, 수사기관 등 유관 단체들로 구성된 한국 법과학회를 창립하여 이 분야를 활성화 시켜 과학수사를 한층 더 발전시키기 위함을 목적으로 한다.
