The Coroner conducting the inquiry into the death of Warren Mottley on Monday struck out the statements of two doctors that his passing was likely linked to the COVID-19 vaccine.Magistrate Graveney Bannister made the ruling after attorney-at-law Faye Finisterre, one of the lawyers for the Mottley family, made an application for some of the evidence of Dr Damian Henry, lead investigator for vaccine adverse incidents with the Barbados Pharmacovigilance Division of the Barbados Drug Service, and Dr Sahle Griffith to be struck out because it was “more prejudicial than probative”.“The evidence is far more prejudicial than probative. It is not supported by anything,” he said.Giving evidence in a prepared statement recently, Dr Griffith, who was the surgeon responsible for Mottley’s care while he was at a private medical facility in 2021, said there was a possibility that complications from the COVID-19 vaccine led to the death of Prime Minister Mia Mottley’s younger brother.
Mottley could not be saved by medical intervention, says surgeonThere was nothing that could have been done to save Warren Mottley’s life.That is the view of the principal of Surgical Solutions Inc, Dr Sahle Griffith, who today told a Coroner’s Inquest that Mottley’s small bowel ischemia was at such an advanced stage no medical procedure would have kept him alive.Dr Griffith was back on the witness stand for a second successive day for cross examination as the Coroner’s Inquest into Mottley’s death continued before Coroner Graveney Bannister in the No.10 Supreme Court.
A key witness in the Coroner’s Inquest into Warren Mottley’s death narrowly avoided being issued a warrant on Monday.Dr Sahle Griffith, the principal of Surgical Solutions Inc., was scheduled to reappear in the Supreme Court to be cross-examined by attorneys representing the Mottley family.The younger brother of Prime Minister Mia Mottley died at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital on June 29, 2021, a week after a routine colonoscopy at Surgical Solutions.When the inquest last convened on November 28, both Leslie Haynes, KC, and Dr Griffith indicated to Coroner Graveney Bannister that they would be travelling overseas.As a result, the Coroner adjourned the matter until Monday.However, when Bannister was prepared to start the matter in the No. 8 Supreme Court, Dr Griffith was not present.

The lead doctor involved in the care of Prime Minister Mia Mottley’s younger brother while he was at a private medical facility in 2021 said there was a possibility that complications from the COVID-19 vaccine led to his death.Dr Sahle Griffith, the principal of Surgical Solutions Inc., said he was “absolutely convinced” that Warren Mottley died as a result of small bowel ischemia, and World Health Organisation (WHO) studies had reported that condition could be caused by some COVID-19 vaccines.He gave that evidence in a prepared statement delivered in the No. 10 Supreme Court as the Coroner’s Inquest into Mottley’s death continued. Mottley passed away at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital (QEH) on June 29, 2021, a week after a routine colonoscopy at Surgical Solutions.
