Rodenticide poisoning is a less likely cause of death. Anticoagulants such as warfarin, coumachlor and indandione derivatives interfere with prothrombin production in the liver and cause multiple haemorrhages throughout the musculature, especially over bony prominences, and internal haemorrhages including epistaxis. External haematomas may also be present.
