Question: How long would sleeping pills stay in your system if you pass away that night?
Brief Answer:
Will not be digested or degraded after death.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
If someone passes away after taking the pills then the pills will remain in the system till the body is degraded or is cremated as the pills will not get digested and can be detected in the blood and tissues on autopsy.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
