Although internal bleeding is the usual cause of death in this category of rodenticides, chlorophacinone has also been shown to cause additional cardiopulmonary or neurologic symptoms in laboratory rats, often leading to their death before significant bleeding occurs. [5] [17]
In addition to this specific metabolic disruption, massive toxic doses of 4-hydroxycoumarin, 4-thiochromenone and 1,3-indandione anticoagulants cause damage to tiny blood vessels (capillaries), increasing their permeability, causing internal bleeding. These effects are gradual, developing over several days.
[4] Vitamin K deficiency in animals is deliberately brought about by anticoagulant rodenticide toxicities. Vitamin K deficiency causes internal bleeding and hemorrhaging, resulting in a slow, painful death.
A poisoned animal suffers progressively worsening internal bleeding, leading to shock, loss of consciousness, and eventually death. [citation needed] Brodifacoum is highly lethal to mammals and birds, and extremely lethal to fish. It is a highly cumulative poison, due to its high lipophilicity and extremely slow elimination. [citation needed]
Strychnine is also used as a rodenticide, but is not specific to such unwanted pests and may kill other small animals. [31] [32] In the United States, most baits containing strychnine have been replaced with zinc phosphide baits since 1990. In the European Union, rodenticides with strychnine have been forbidden since 2006.

Bromethalin was discovered in the early 1980s through an approach to find replacement rodenticides for first-generation anticoagulants, especially to be useful against rodents that had become resistant to Warfarin-type anticoagulant poisons.
More than 800 people have lost their lives in jail since July 13, 2015 but few details are publicly released. Huffington Post is compiling a database of every person who died until July 13, 2016 to shed light on how they passed.
