Answer to Question 1

Postmortem redistribution occurs when drugs redistrube or reenter the blood after death and thus may complicate the interpretation of post-mortem drug blood levels. For this reason, it is best to collect blood at distant areas of the body.The ideal location to retrieve the blood is internally from the inferior vena cava. Where postmortem redistribution of drugs may have occurred, blood should also be collected at autopsy from the superior venous system directly above the heart.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: photography
