Diazepam and drug-associated deaths. A survey in the United States and Canada
B. S. Finkle, K. L. McCloskey and L. S. Goodman
This study describes a population of deceased persons in which death was
generally caused by ingestion of numerous drugs, of which diazepam was only
one agent. This drug occurred with high frequency relative to the total
case load at each site, but its toxicological importance was often of a low
order, and its role in the fatal cases was judged as minimal.
