| When a burned cadaver is found at the fire scene, an analysis of carbon monoxide-hemoglobin in the blood of victim is carried out to test the level of carbon-monoxide intoxication. However, carbon monoxide-hemoglobin could not be conformed in the blood of victim who used kerosene or gasoline as an accelerant. In such cases, the vital signs of victim having been injured by fire before the deaths were scarcely observed. The author performed that using a gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) was effective for an analysis of the hydrocarbon compounds in blood. | ||
