Dr Allender has lent his expertise to solving some of Australia's most publicised crimes over more than three decades, along the way developing a fascination with how toxic substances may have contributed to a person's death. As a forensic toxicologist, he has been called on to give expert witness evidence in numerous cases involving the misuse of drugs whether by misadventure, deliberate overdosing, plain stupidity or, even worse, murder. In this final instalment in his popular Expert Witness series, Dr Allender is back with a further selection of case stories where the use or misuse of a toxic substance has contributed to someone's death.
