LPG (liquefied petrol gases- sıvılaştırılmış petrol gazları), basınç altında sıvı hale getirilmiş hafif alifatik hidrokarbon olan bütan (C4H10) ve propan (CjHg) karışımından oluşan renksiz ve hafif bir kokuya sahip bir gazdır. LPG kaynaklı ölümler genellikle kazaya bağlı olarak karşımıza çıkmakta ve intihar daha seyrek görülmektedir. Bütan ve propana bağlı ölümün asfiksi, vagal inhibisyon, respiratuar depresyon ve aritmiler olmak üzere dört mekanizma ile meydana gelebileceği belirtilmektedir. Bu çalışmada, vücudunun tamamını battaniye ile örtüp, açık mutfak tüpünden uzanan hortumun ucunu battaniyenin altına sokarak özel düzenek hazırlayan ve bu düzenekle yatağında intihar eden 64 yaşmda bir erkek olgu sunulmuştur. Seyrek görülen bu olguya ait bulgular, literatür eşliğinde tartışılmıştır.Anahtar kelimeler:LPG, bütan, propan, intihar

“…There are several reports of sudden death from intentional butane inhalation, and the phenomenon is called as Sudden Sniffing Death Syndrome (SSDS) [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9]. Even if it does not result in death, users are likely to suffer from damage to neural systems and other harmful conditions in which compete recover is less likely [10][11][12].…”

Postmortem diffusion of n-butane and i-butane used for anticontagious plugging spray

et al. 2016

Blood and tissue samples from a forensic autopsy of a man in his late 60s, who developed dementia and died of multiple head traumas due to a fall from a moving vehicle, contained certain amounts of n-butane and i-butane. The concentration of n-butane was in the range of 0.48 -70.5 μL/g, which would be considered as toxic or lethal levels. We had to distinguish whether the cause of his unexplained behavior was due to his pre-existing condition (dementia), or from a confused state induced by butane abuse. No traces of butane use were found at the scene. Police investigation revealed that a propellant used in an anticontagious plugging spray had been administered to him during a postmortem treatment in the emergency hospital. In order to prove the postmortem butane diffusion had resulted from the spray administration and to estimate the diffused concentration, experimental simulation was conducted by using rats. As a result of postmortem treatment with the spray, n-butane at concentrations of 0.54 -15.5 μL/mL or g were found in the rat blood and tissues. In this case, we provided further evidence that the postmortem butane diffusion, caused by using the anticontagious 3 plugging spray containing butane gas as a propellant administered to a cadaver during a postmortem procedure prior to forensic autopsy, should be distinguished from cases of actual butane poisoning.
