Antemortem ( before death ) blood sample collected at 9:00 pm. He did not die while the policeman was holding him down. He did not die on the street. He was still alive at 9:00 pm in the hospital.
Lies, all lies. Just like Capitol police Officer Sicknick was beaten with a fire extinguisher.
Antemortem specimens
Not infrequently, victims of an accident or overdose may be admitted to hospital, albeit sometimes surviving only briefly, before they die. When that occurs, it is common for blood and sometimes urine and gastric contents to be collected as part of the medical evaluation and treatment. There are at least two reasons why collection and analysis of antemortem specimens can be invaluable, even if death occurs fairly soon after admission to hospital. Firstly, analysis of hospital admission specimens gives a good idea of the circulating blood concentration at the time of admission to the hospital.
Postmortem and antemortem specimens. Biological specimens collected during an autopsy and submitted for toxicological analysis are typically considered the gold standard for providing information to assist in determining the cause of death in cases of suspected drug overdose. Without question, the reliability of toxicology results relies heavily on the fidelity of the specimen collection process. Forensic pathologists are trained in multiple aspects of specimen collection protocol, including the selection of a suitable specimen container, collection of an appropriate volume of specimen, proper specimen labelling, and storage in a manner that best preserves endogenous and xenobiotic constituents until the specimen can be delivered to the testing location. In certain cases, however, it may not be possible to establish the cause of death by analyzing postmortem specimens, and the availability of blood collected prior to death becomes critical.
