Abstract
Four cases of strychnine poisoning are presented and compared with 5 cases from other sources. High levels of strychnine in the liver may result in death without evidence of physical struggle. Low levels suggest a delayed death probably accompanied by the physical responses commonly attributed to strychnine poisoning. In the 3 suicides described, the strychnine was obtained from farming sources.Keywords
