Answer:

Arsenic.

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, since insecticides are substances that act as poisons to get rid of insects in order to prevent their presence and/or reproduction in houses, companies, crops and others, a substance that has been widely used is the metalloid arsenic due to its direct affection of the insect's body (movement, performance, cellular functions).

In addition, high levels of arsenic in food could cause arsenic poisoning in humans as well, that is why such practice must be properly performed and by using the correct security protocol.

Best regards!

Marina CMI [18]

Answer:

See the answer below.

Explanation:

Fire has three major components:

  • Heat
  • Smoke
  • Gases ( in form of CO, CO2 etc)

If the victim had died as a result of the fire, he/he would have inhaled smoke and hot gases from the fire. These components would have resulted in traces of burns and soot deposition in the trachea and lungs as well as traces of CO in the blood of the victim.

If the analysis of the victim's corpse does not reflect some of the results above, it can be effectively concluded that the victim has been dead before the fire.

<em>The single most important indicator of death by the fire would be the presence of CO in the blood of the victim's corpse. All others might be to a less significant degrees.</em>
