Detecting Methanol poisoning after burial
Hello, I have a question. My brother died of three years back and doctors cited methanol ingestion as the cause of death. Admittedly, he used to consume alcohol and the doctors told us that too much alcohol could result in such a condition. At that time we were in too much shock to ask for a post mortem or an investigation. Following his burial, we started suspecting that he was poisoned by his wife. We even filed a case with the police, but could never pursue that due to a host of reasons. He died in Jan 2008. I want to ask if we have his body exhumed now, is it possible to detect the poison? I have read that arsenic stays in the body many years after the burial. Is that true for methanol ingestion too.
Please do answer if anybody has knowledge about the subject. Thank you.
