Suicide by poison

[Jess]

Can they figure out you committed suicide and what poison you used if you hide all evidence? Like hiding the poison, the glass used. They just find you dead and that's it. Can they figure what poison you used?

Depends on some factors, type of poison used, how obvious your suicide is, family concerns etc...
Poisons work very differently and they might leave incredibly obvious signs on your body to apparently no signs.
No one is going to do an autopsy on someone who has clearly killed himself tho, unless the family explicitly asks for it.

That's actually not accurate. In most places all suicides require an investigation and a medicolegal autopsy. No exceptions. How would they know it was truly a suicide and not an accident or homicide just by looking at the scene and not reviewing the body? They would 100% find out what type of poison you took, OP. There's very few things that don't show up at all in your blood and they aren't obtainable or are a very unpleasant death.

The only way the poison would not be seen as a suicide is if the death could be explained by something else. If your always depressed and you die mysteriously they will just give up say suicide and call it a day. Unless your a celebrity or a cute lil white girl with rich parents in a big city they dont go deep in to the reports anyway but if your trying say...insurance fraud, they pull out the big guns to protect their money.
