My mother just passed away this weekend. We were not able to get an autopsy but they did do a tox screen test on her more that 24 hours after she died. Can you tell me whether or not that tox screen test they did can tell if she had a heart attack or sudden cardiac death or stroke?

No it won't be able to tell you that. It will tell you what medications were in her system at the time of her death.

I'm so sorry for your loss.

Please let me know if you have more questions.

Is there anything else other than medication that may show up as to what happened to her?
