Abstract

Diazinon and Malathion are organophosphorus insecticides, widely used in some countries, for example Egypt. Suicidal death due to swallowing of any of them could occur. In our study, thin layer chromatography (TLC), gas chromatography/mass detection (GC/MS) and ultra performance liquid chromatography (UPLC) were used to detect Diazinon and Malathion in the stomach content, stomach wall, blood and the internal wash of the bottle that the victim drank from.
