Are toxicology reports separate from autopsy reports? Are they public record as well? They say that autopsy results are public record, but could some things be held back if law enforcement felt like they needed to be?

So many questions!

I was listening to someone talking on John Gibson's show and this man made a comment that I found interesting. He said that there was no mention of any drug found in JonBenet's body in the autopsy report. He speculated that this may have been one of the pieces of information that was kept secret from everyone. I found it interesting because many of us have wondered why Karr claimed that he had drugged her when the autopsy reports said there were no drugs in her system. That made it appear as if he was saying something that was untrue.

So, apparently we've been misinformed....it isn't that the autopsy report said there wasn't drugs in her system, the autopsy report simply did not make a note of it at all.

I just read a post that states the complete tox report was never received. Also, I have no idea if Chloroform would show up in a tox screen. I can tell you in my biology class we used chloroform to kill animals because it didn't mess up test for liver enzymes and such (Bio/Chem major). We needed freshly dead specimins in order to study enzymatic processes.
