Abstract
This recent study has confirmed the old lore that postmortem urinary bladder distension is a sign of alcohol/drug intoxication of the deceased. Postmortem urine volume may provide a new preliminary screening test for the busy pathologist, coroner, medicolegal examiner or toxicologist. It also may detect cases in which there was no suspicion of alcohol/drug intoxication. Of course drug/alcohol screening choices should not be based on urine volume alone and more research should be conducted in this area.
