Discussion If I take SN, few benzos, meto and antacids, will the doctors and my family think I died in my sleep NATURALLY/mysteriously?

[KillingPain267]

SN ctb is not so well known in my country, so maybe if I throw all boxes, will the doctors be dumbfounded on what caused the sudden death and not suspect it was ctb (which I assume is more traumatizing to my family).

Only if they're supremely incompetent.

I've heard that SN is hard to detect unless they know what to test for in the corpse.

They will likely figure it out.

The death of a young adult will almost always be investigated since it is not natural. With SN, they will know immediately that something has thickened your blood and caused it to no longer carry oxygen. This will be obvious from your color.

The best you can hope for is that they assume you took it by mistake.

Benzos are easily detected in the blood, for one. There are blood tests for just about everything. Your methoglobenemia level will be off the charts, something very unique to very few substances. For another, part of an autopsy for unexplained deaths is checking stomach contents. They will find everything in there as you will die before your body has emptied your stomach. Nobody is going to suspect that a young person just randomly died in their sleep, there will be an autopsy and they will piece it all together.

SN leaves a brightly coloured corpse doesn't it? Even an amateur should spot something suspicious happened.

A basic blood test would also detect it.

Accident looking CTB generally has to be a fall or something like that. An open verdict, can't prove either way.

There is absolutely no chance it will be ruled as accidental.

Even if you had a reason for taking the drugs(medical or recreational) and had a reason for having SN in your house you will still take those on an empty stomach and the amount of SN would be more than accidentally using the wrong salt especially without eating any actual food.

Depending on where you live and that fact that you're younger—a coroner will likely examine your body due to having a cyanotic complexion. SN starves your blood of oxygen and turns your skin blue. The moment someone sees your body, they're likely going to think you died of anything but natural causes

Benzos, fine. They know I've been using some before, I don't mean overdosing them in this case.

Will they know what caused the methoglobenemia level to have changed?

I do have medical history for the other meds. And what if I throw the rest of the SN bottle? Wouldn't they have to search for a reason?

As I said, they will find it in your stomach. SN may not be well known as a suicide in your country but that doesn't mean that it's impossible to figure out. The entire point of autopsies is to figure out deaths that don't quite make sense. It's their job.

Exactly what @willitpass said. Not having a bottle there wouldn't change anything.
