Table 4.

Forensic toxicological results of José António de Sampaio Junior’s biological samples.

No. Toxicological report
Viscera results were negative for mineral poisons and hydrocyanic acid Since the viscera were in an advanced state of putrefaction, the chemical analysis revealed the existence of alkaloid materials of the class of ptomaines, and not of natural plant alkaloids In those circumstances, the results of the toxicological analysis, without denying the hypothesis of poisoning by plant alkaloids since in such cases the search for these compounds may be impossible, do not provide any new argument in favour of this presumption
