Two forensic cases show why CHS merits consideration in bathtub deaths
Cannabis Hyperemesis Syndrome in the Differential Diagnosis of Bathtub Deaths: Two Forensic Cases.
AI Summary
This case report examines whether cannabis hyperemesis syndrome (CHS) should be considered when investigating deaths in bathtub or shower settings. It describes two men, aged 38 and 44, who were found in those settings and had medical histories of long-standing CHS. The authors assessed investigative, autopsy, toxicology, and vitreous chemistry findings; the abstract does not report specific test results or establish a definitive cause of death.
The cases highlight the challenges of interpreting CHS’s possible role as a cause or contributing condition in death. The authors emphasize thorough scene investigation and review of autopsy findings, toxicology, and medical history. This abstract-based summary is limited to the information provided: the report cannot establish that CHS caused either death or how often it contributes to bathtub or shower deaths.
