Typically, but not necessarily. Since you didn't specify the nature of the toxicology report. If the report is in conjunction with a drinking and driving offense, for example, then yes. If it is grain alcohol, it will be designated on the tox report as one of the following: EtOH, ethanol, ethyl alcohol, or grain alcohol. Having said that, toxicology reports may include other alcohols including methanol depending on the nature of the investigation.
a subsequent toxicology report showed Dunn had a blood alcohol level of 0.196% - more than twice the state's maximum legal limit of 0.08%.

It is a sign that the blood is decomposing, breaking down, and decaying.
A toxicology blood test, also known as a toxicology screen, is a test that analyzes blood samples to identify the presence of drugs or alcohol in the body. It is commonly used in emergency medicine, forensic investigations, and workplace drug testing to assess drug use or poisoning.
Yes, they are the same.
yes it can, maybe the numbers they gave you were wrong or they did the test wrong
Blood is pumped through the liver where alcohol is metabolized and removed. Ethanol within the human body is converted into acetaldehyde by alcohol dehydrogenase and then into acetic acid by acetaldehyde dehydrogenase. The product of the first step of this breakdown, acetaldehyde, is even more toxic than ethanol.
The concentration of ethanol in serum is approximately equal to the blood alcohol concentration (BAC) because serum and blood have similar ethanol levels. To convert serum ethanol concentration to BAC, simply use the serum ethanol concentration as the BAC value. For example, if the serum ethanol concentration is 100 mg/dL, then the BAC would also be considered as 100 mg/dL.
No. Actually no one has a BAC of zero because the human body produces ethanol 24/7. It's called endogenous ethanol production.

The cause of death is still to be determined. After receiving the toxicology report, the Winehouse family stated that there were no illegal drugs found in her system.
The subject tested has diabetes. The metabolism of starch creates ethanol in the blood and also causes a detectable level of acetone on the breath. (detected by breathalyzer)
