Lagos State govt insists on autopsy.
Meanwhile, the Management of the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital, LASUTH has released a list of 29 victims that have been identified by their relatives even as relations of victims who thronged Hospital mortuary for possible collection of the bodies may not claim their corpses until autopsy is carried out on them according to Lagos State coroner law.
Vanguard gathered that 14 out of the 43 bodies at the hospital’s mortuary were yet to be identified by their relatives. Unfortunately, though the relations of the victims who have identified their dead relations corpses are becoming impatient asking authorities of the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital, LASUTH, when they will eventually take the corpses of their dead, the answer has been that they should exercise patience. As the clamour to take away identified corpses continued yesterday at LASUTH morgue, Chief Medical Director, LASUTH, Prof Wale Oke told impatient relations of the dead, “already we have started doing the autopsy today, and we are going to do at least 12 autopsies per day”. As at 2 pm yesterday, Prof. John Obafunwa, consultant Pathologist and Forensic Medicine and Vice Chancellor, Lagos State University, LASU, led seven other pathologists to commence authopsy on the corpses.

An autopsy—also known as a post-mortem examination—is a highly specialized surgical procedure that consists of a thorough examination of a corpse to determine the cause and manner of death and to evaluate any disease or injury that may be present. It is usually performed by a specialized medical doctor called a pathologist.

The Question here is this, What is the essence of an Autopsy on Dana Crash Victims, since we already know the cause of their Death.

if u ask me na who i go ask (singing). honestly, i just don't get it. may be after the autopsy the course of death might just change from plane crash to something else and they will now come back to life . pls allow those that ve identified their late loved ones to go and bury them and stop increasing their pains on a worthless procedure that changes nothing.
