Im not an expert on how far back toxicology reports can go, but wouldnt it depend on how much time lapses, especially if it was days after he dumped the body? But I agree it’s odd they didn’t charge him.

While the longer answer involves a ton of “it depends”, as a general rule, tox can be done indefinitely on a dead body, as long as there are remains to test. Your body stops processing everything once you die, so whatever is in your tissue at the time of death stays there, as long as it’s not something organic and subject to decomposition itself.
