question # 4
multiple choice
a toxicologist is taking samples trying to identify the specific poison involved in a sudden - death incident at a restaurant. where should he expect to find high concentrations of the poison?
○ urine
○ in the lungs
○ stomach contents
○ in the buttocks, in case someone gave the victim a shot

Explanation:

When a person ingests poison (common in a restaurant setting), it first enters the digestive system. The stomach is the initial storage site for ingested substances before further digestion and absorption processes. Urine is a waste product where toxins are excreted after being processed by the body (so concentration might be lower compared to the initial ingestion site). Lungs are relevant for inhaled poisons (not typical in a general restaurant sudden - death from poisoning scenario unless specified as inhalation). The buttocks (for a shot) would be relevant for injected poisons, but the restaurant context more likely implies ingestion.

Answer:

stomach contents
