‘No foul play in missing organs’

Fiona, who was in UK in connection with the burial of her daughter, said she will come back to India sooner than expected after the findings of the third autopsy.

According to a British newspaper, pathologist Dr Gayn Fernando, attached to the Coroner court in Devonshire conducted the third autopsy on Scarlett’s body.

But forensic experts in Goa said the absence of Scarlett’s vital body organs is not a mystery but mandatory requirement of the forensic practice. “Two autopsies were conducted on the body and for each autopsy, half of each kidney is removed. So it’s but natural that both the kidneys are not found,” said a forensic expert, who was part of one the teams that conducted autopsy on Scarlett’s body.

“The letter for formal confirmation on the facts of missing body parts has been sent by Fiona to the coroner’s office in Devonshire,” Varma said. The lawyer said he will also take up the matter with Goa authorities including Goa Medical College and Hospital. “We want to ascertain the facts and circumstances of this unacceptable situation,” he said.
