Forensic Denies Statements on Delayed Police Notification and Incomplete Information
Forensic Medicine Specialist Dr. İdris Deniz clarified that the statement “Police were notified late, and information is incomplete” was not made by him and does not reflect his views. Dr. Deniz emphasized that the definitive cause of death for the newborn who passed away in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit will be determined after further examination.
Speaking to the Turkish News Agency Cyprus (TAK), Dr. Deniz from Dr. Burhan Nalbantoğlu State Hospital noted that pneumothorax (collapsed lung) was not identified during the autopsy, though the infant had been treated for it. He observed wounds consistent with chest tubes inserted on both sides, likely to address a suspected pneumothorax while the infant was alive, which may explain why it was not apparent during autopsy.
Addressing reports about delayed notification, Dr. Deniz explained that the timeline of police notification is not within his scope and does not affect his autopsy report. He added that any conclusions drawn suggesting otherwise are inaccurate.
Dr. Deniz also mentioned the presence of an alcohol metabolite in the infant’s body but clarified that active alcohol was not detected. He emphasized that further analysis of tissue samples is necessary to determine whether the cause of death was related to alcohol or another condition, adding that the autopsy was requested by hospital doctors. The final determination of the cause of death will depend on the results of these advanced tests.
