Abstract

This study examines the effects of age, gender, a cold water medium versus warm water medium, and salinity on strontium levels determined in left ventricular blood in drownings. Significant differences in the amount of strontium absorbed into the bloodstream ( p < 0.001) were detected between individuals who drowned in fresh water versus those drowning in seawater, and between those drowning in cold water versus warm water ( p = 0.030). However, no significant differences were noted in the strontium concentrations of left ventricular blood according to gender or age.
