The autopsy for the Corentyne eight-year-old child who died suddenly at the New Amsterdam Public Hospital on Tuesday last was inconclusive.
The father, Chandrika Raghu, 53, of Number 62 Village, Corentyne, had explained that two Sundays ago he took his daughter Naiomi Raghu, 8, a student at the New Market Primary School, to the Skeldon Public Hospital after she had a fever, vomiting, and diarrhoea.
However, he said she was eventually transferred to the New Amster-dam Public Hospital where she was administered saline. “Me stay in all two nights with she so me went right deh. Them run scan and blood test but them na tell me nothing wah wrong with she.”
According to the man, his daughter seemed to have been recovering until last Tuesday morning when everything took a turn for the worse. “Them give she one injection and then afterwards she start blow hard hard and me call the nurse quick and she call them doctor.”
Raghu said, that about four doctors rushed to his daughter and they ordered him out of the ward. About twenty minutes later he was informed that his daughter had passed away.
However, while health officials did not release the post-mortem result the police in Region Six said that it was inconclusive.
“On conclusion, the cause of death could not be determined. Samples were taken from the deceased’s organs, from the heart, liver, lungs, kidney, stomach contents, stomach and spleen to be taken to the Guyana Forensic Laboratory (GFSL), for further Examination and findings”, the police’s statement said.
