A Pathologist with the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital (LASUTH), Dr. Sunday Soyemi has informed Coroner Magistrate Mikhail Kadiri, conducting inquest into the controversial death of Sylvester Oromoni Junior that blackish substance was found in the deceased intestine. He also told the court that LASUTH does not have the facility to conduct toxicology, adding that the deceased died of Septicemia (Sepsis). The pathologists said the deceased was not tested for alleged poisoning, as LASUTH does not have the facility to conduct toxicology. “The stomach had been opened by the first pathologist and nothing was found. The pathologist also spoke on photographs particularly about the procedure and methods of the post mortem and faulted the initial pathologist, describing his examination as botched autopsy.
