Totally OT: Alcohol levels in deceased hard to assess....Was Henri, s driver really drunk??

[Guest guest]

We are all deeply intio biochemistry so I thought I would post this on

the heels of the inquest verdict yesterday. I heard a pathologist

speak about the driver Henris levels of alcohol in a post-mortem

assessment. He claimed it was very difficult to determine how much one

had been drinking as natural decompostion ie from yeast, would produce

alcohol also. As far as I know, alcohol is alcohol and it is difficult

to determine the source. I am wary of the scientific basis of the

verdict yesterday specially in light of the pathologist on BBC yesterday

who said only that Henri looked as if he might be a chronic alcoholic.

ie He was still walking normally even after the alledged 2 Ricards. What

kind of pathology assessment is that? NO MENTION OF POST-MORTEM ALCOHOL

LEVELS.....
