Alcohol is also produced by decomposing bodies. A low level is produced when the blood ferments.I think JJ was drugged also. Looks like he was given alcohol and GHB (Gamma Hydroxybutyrate) GHB is a central nervous system (CNS) depressant that is commonly referred to as a “club drug” or “date rape” drug. Hopefully the poor child was already unconscious when he was smothered to death with a plastic bag over his head. :-(
From the article:
Because of the state of decomposition, they weren't able to get blood or urine samples so JJ's liver was sent for toxicology.
The report showed low levels of ethanol (alcohol), GHB drug, caffeine and theobromine (principal alklaoid of cacao plant).
Warren says the amount of GHB in JJ's body was "inconclusive" - hard to tell if it was naturally occurring in the body or if he was given it.
Caffeine and theobromine are both present in chocolate.
