Madeleine died 'after large sleeping pill overdose'

Regarding the "Hair"

Interesting interview with Dr Baden on Greta yesterday.

He said they would have known within ten minutes of testing "Madeleine's" hair found in the car whether it was from a live Madeleine or a dead Madeleine.
Do the Portuguese police already know this?
They have said they don't know whether Madeleine is dead.

I know some things are still being tested but If Dr Baden is right the hair test wouldn't have taken this long.

Regarding DNA results for traces of sleeping pills. I am not aware of any confirmation about that. Just rumors.

Wish I could have watched Greta.
Good questions april4sky! I found some information. Not sure if it will help. From this link--http://www.news.com.au/adelaidenow/story/0,22606,22432197-5006301,00.html

Asked if there was any way of telling from a sample if a person had died from taking the drug, he said: "No, I don't think so. The effect of the drug is much quicker than its metabolism into the hair."
And when asked if it is possible to tell from a hair sample whether it has come from a body of a living person he said: "I am not aware of any way that you could tell that, so in my opinion it would be nonsensical to say that you can tell that."
