Amazing, police can take blood-alcohol reading from a charred body

"He added that an autopsy showed that the driver - Mr Jonathan Long Junwei, 29 - had a blood-alcohol reading of 86milligrams of alcohol per 100ml of blood.
This exceeded the legal limit of 80mg per 100ml."

The driver and his passengers were burnt to a crisp. Still possible to take blood-alcohol reading from a charred body!?

SINGAPORE - The coroner's inquiry into the deaths of five men killed on Feb 13 last year in a fiery car crash in Tanjong Pagar heard that the driver had hit speeds of up to 148kmh before the accident.
The speed limit for Tanjong Pagar Road is 50kmh, Traffic Police investigator Senior Staff Sergeant Muhammad Firdaus Suleiman testified on Thursday (June 9) before State Coroner Adam Nakhoda.
He added that an autopsy showed that the driver - Mr Jonathan Long Junwei, 29 - had a blood-alcohol reading of 86milligrams of alcohol per 100ml of blood.
This exceeded the legal limit of 80mg per 100ml.
Mr Long was driving a white BMW M4 at around 5.40am when it crashed into a shophouse before bursting into flames.
Mr Long and four passengers - Mr Teo Qi Xiang, 26; Mr Elvin Tan Yong Hao, 28; Mr Eugene Yap Zheng Min, 29; and Mr Gary Wong Hong Chieh, 29 - were killed in the incident.
His fiancee, former air stewardess Raybe Oh Siew Huey, 26, rushed to the scene to try to help the occupants and was badly burnt in the incident.


She spent four months in Singapore General Hospital (SGH) and will need multiple reconstructive surgical operations to help her recover from her injuries.
Four of the occupants of the car were working as financial advisers at Aviva Financial Advisers. Mr Wong was a former representative there.
The Straits Times earlier reported that Ms Oh and the occupants of the car had dined at a nearby Korean eatery before the accident.
Security camera footage showed the vehicle travelling down Tanjong Pagar Road before it crashed into the shophouse. It burst into flames seconds later.

Ms Oh was seen in mobile phone footage running into the flames to try and save the men.
She emerges seconds later covered in flames.
The Land Transport Authority looked into the road conditions in Tanjong Pagar following the tragedy and subsequently installed more traffic-calming measures such as road dividers as well as pedestrian crossings.
The coroner's inquiry continues.

Singapore has two major insurance agent group, this is one of them

The agents look like those killed, it is a corrupted industry, tax evasion, people sleeping with each other, churning policies, buy & cancel to get rebates from insurers

The actual reading before cooking was higher.

Judging from their faces, I wouldn't trust any of them to walk my dog, let alone manage my funds.

Imagine when you finished the race, you end up facing Rowan Yan immediately.

Coroner is lying.
Alcohol dry almost immediately and the dead fucker's liver probably disintegrated in that fire completely. How the fuck can he detect alcohol level ?

If you've eaten Pig Organ soup before, curdled blood can be cut into neat square cubes
like chocolate squares.

a charred or severely burnt body can produce endogenous alcohol to a high level. also known as postmortem alcohol formation, it stems from microflora deposits on what remains as open tissues (skin may be gone but exposed bones and some muscles and ligaments may remain) causing rapid alcoholic fermentation to occur. this phenomenon has caused various autopsies to conclude high levels of alcohol among burnt victims, which is not majority true. the faa conducted multiple studies on charred bodies after plane crashes and found that all burnt victims had alcohol content too high to be correlated with alcohol consumption before the tragedies (not all passengers were drinking adults). the us navy conducted a study of burnt sailors after the uss iowa turret gunnery accident in 1989 and also discovered high alcohol formation among victims (alcohol consumption was ruled out as it was forbidden for service personnel during training and combat tours on ships). i urge coroner and forensic specialists in sg to consider this phenomenon in their reports as victims might have consumed alcohol prior to the tragedy but alcoholic consumption might be discrepant (at a much lower level) than what was detected at postmortem.

Coroner on the side of insurers? No need to compensate families?

May be they used a breathalyzer?
