Twelve cases of death due to fluorocarbon inhalation were seen in a 4 yr period 1971-1975. The source of the material was commercial spray cans. The postmortem examinations are nonspecific, but a history of excitement or sudden death is often elicited. Confirmation of the cause of death was made by demonstration of a halogenated hydrocarbon in the blood by gas chromatography.
