Surgical intervention is deemed futile. After 4 days in the hospital, he is declared dead by neurologic criteria (ie, “brain dead”) and removed from life support. An autopsy confirms the brain injury. Postmortem toxicologic samples are obtained from the femoral vein and reveal oxycodone and oxycodone metabolites. As a toxicologist, you are asked to interpret the findings. How do you proceed?
