Carbon monoxide is a euphoric toxic gas with the propensity of causing death within a short time interval. In this study, eighteen (18) rabbits of same sex and age were divided into three groups thus: Carbon monoxide Death (CD) group was made up of animals exposed to high levels of Carbon monoxide (CO) till death, while Disguised Death (DD) group composed of animals mechanically sacrificed and exposed to carbon monoxide. Similarly Control Group (CG) was comprised of animals mechanically sacrificed without exposure to carbon monoxide. Vitreous humour samples were extracted from the animals and their lipid profiles determined using standard methodologies. Pearson correlation analyses were used to establish relationships between vitreous lipid profile components and the acute graded carbon monoxide concentrations. Results showed a significant decrease (P<0.05) in the vitreous lipid profile of the studied groups. The decrease in vitreous humor lipid profile was more pronounced in CO death than disguised death. Hence a markedly decreased vitreous lipid profile could serve as an adjunct hallmark in the investigation of CO poisoning death.

The integration of arts-based, particularly theater-based, education and research within the realm of criminology is increasingly imperative, primarily due to the current limitations in its application. Despite the traditional dominance of quantitative methods in criminological research and training, theater-based methodologies may provide nuanced dimensions to the complexities of criminological phenomena that may remain obscured by more conventional approaches.
