Questions raised in inquest into naval cadet’s death

IPOH: The post-mortem on the late navy cadet officer J. Soosaimanicckam (pic) should have been conducted by a trained forensic pathologist instead of a medical officer, the Coroner’s Court here has heard.

Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland & University College Dublin Malaysia Campus (RUMC) Associate Professor Datuk Seri Dr Bhupinder Singh said in cases involving a death at a government training facility, it would be more appropriate for an expert pathologist to carry out the post-mortem.
