We present the case report of a 34-year-old Hispanic male who was found unresponsive in the carport of his residence. Surveillance video footage from a security camera showed that he collapsed as he was walking to his vehicle. The decedent had no medical history and no history of illicit drug use. Initial toxicology testing revealed no alcohol or illicit drugs. Autopsy findings indicated a need for additional toxicological analysis due to a lack of trauma and the paucity of pathophysiologically significant natural disease. Liquid chromatography time-of-flight mass spectrometry of postmortem blood revealed the presence of two large peaks corresponding to desmethyl carbodenafil, an unapproved sildenafil analogue and its hydroxy metabolite. Species that are probable desmethyl and hydroxydesmethyl metabolites of desmethyl carbodenafil were also found. The mass and retention time of the parent compound in the deced.
