Not familiar with the gas used in the Mystery show, but if it was nitrogen pumped into the victim's room, nobody in the rest of the hotel would have felt anything. Nitrogen is an excellent asphyxiant, with no sensible difference from air.
- boznz 5y agoCould this method even be detected in an Autopsy ?
- ridgeguy 5y agoI don't know. I doubt there would be any gross indicators (like petechiae incident to strangulation), but maybe there would be some subtle blood chemistry indicator. Nitrogen asphyxiation is an occasional industrial cause of death. I haven't looked in to the post-mortem data.
- hinkley 5y agoOn cop procedurals the coroner often claims the victim died of asphyxiation. Whether that's true or not I couldn't say. I know there are symptoms of hypoxia that can be readily diagnosed in a living patient.
