Autopsy hints girl choked on food after PT session

Over the past few days, forensic experts at Lady Curzon and Bowring Hospital have been trying to find out if physical stress alone was the reason or Bhagyashree had an undetected health problem.

‘‘To conclude cause of death, we need to match post mortem report, circumstances surrounding death, medical history and histopathological studies of key organs. Only postmortem report is now available,’’ says the hospital forensic expert.

The report has indicated the presence of food particles deep in her respiratory tract. ‘‘It has given rise to the theory choking on regurgitated food could have caused the death, but it is not conclusive,’’ says the forensic expert.
