Bile is one matrix type that may be collected at autopsy and submitted to the toxicology laboratory for analysis. Because it is an excretion product of the liver, it can be used for screening purposes and to determine what drugs an individual used or was exposed to prior to death. This paper presents collection and analytical considerations of bile, and provides an overview of its utility from a testing and interpretation perspective. Acad Forensic Pathol. 2018 8(2): 324-327
