Autopsy

[TheGreatEscape]

If one were to CTB by SN (or perhaps fentanyl) in a secluded place where they were not found for perhaps as long as four weeks, could an autopsy prove inconclusive for cause of death?

This assumes no physical evidence of the order is left behind, computers wiped, phone discarded, etc.

I think they can find the toxin in your body

The body turns blue with SN. It sounds like SN leaves other distinctive signs on the body.

I don't know the answer to your question, but I suspect if you do end up too decomposed for a cause of death to be found, authorities would probe your death in other ways, as they'd be very keen in that instance to eliminate foul play. Your electronic devices, bank accounts, and other online activities would probably be looked at. They might find out things you'd bought online, which would give them clues. Deleted internet history is often recoverable, and if it isn't, history of your bank account will most likely provide similar information anyway.

You're also going to have the fentanyl/SN on you at the time of death, so I think it would be difficult to prevent the possibility of there being containers/packaging nearby with, at the very least traces of it on. People talk of feeling drowsy and having to lie/sit down just minutes after consumption, so I would think it would be hard to get rid of the evidence in time.

Sorry if it's not the answer you're looking for, but I think with SN/Fentanyl you'd have a hard time concealing your cause of death. Not necessarily impossible, but definitely hard.

Organs do start to decompose after 24 hours, so they prefer to get autopsies done within that timeframe. That being said, they can still glean information from decomposed or exhumed corpses.

The level of decomposition after a month would be quite severe, but I suspect they would still be able to find evidence of SN. President Taylor's body was exhumed 141 years after his death to determine whether he was poisoned by arsenic. They ruled he died from gastroenteritis. If they can find that after that long, I suspect identifying the effects of SN after a month would be an easy task.

How much would an autopsy cost generally??

I don't know...but I don't understand...do they contact your family to pay? They shouldn't require it. I don't want one at all. Charge the state if required. Fucking ridiculous.

Yes it's ridiculous. It's what is holding me back right now as I don't want to financially burden my parents I'm trying to make this as less of a burden as possible

I think they can deny it. I mean I really don't understand how they can find my next of kin/my parents. It's fucking ridiculous. Another loophole. I don't think my parents would be found....and made to pay. Jumping would make autopsy useless but I am chicken fucking shit at the moment

Sorry you're suffering I hope you find peace no matter your decision

I think they would have an easy time determining the cause of death. Apparently SN makes your blood sludgy as well
