Private autopsy: Bharatt died from blunt trauma to the head
Murder victim Andrea Bharatt
A PRIVATE autopsy on Tuesday has revealed that court clerk Andrea Bharatt died from blunt force trauma injuries to her head.
Whether these injuries were caused by a wilful physical attack, by her falling or by her being thrown down a precipice remains a mystery.
The autopsy – done a day after an initial examination proved inconclusive – was performed by Prof Hubert Daisley at Boodoo's Funeral Home in Cunupia.
The first autopsy was done at the Forensic Sciences Centre in St James but no cause of death could be ascertained owing to the advanced state of decomposition of the body. Blood and tissue samples were taken for further tests and the body released to the funeral home.
