Cynthia Osokogu”s corpse is still lying in the morgue despite findings that autopsy has been completed on the remains.
It was gathered on Tuesday from a reliable source at the TOS Funeral Home and Mortuary at the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital, where Osokogu’s corpse was taken for autopsy last month, that pathologists have conducted the autopsy on her corpse and it was ready for collection but her family members have not shown up to retrieve the corpse.
“Her corpse is still in the mortuary and we have given the necessary documents to her family members but they have not shown up to take her corpse away,” the source stated.
The police in Lagos State said last week that the autopsy was required to build a strong evidence against the suspects arrested in connection with her gruesome death on August 22, 2012 at the Camillas Hotel and Suites, FESTAC Town, Lagos.
Her interment, which was fixed for September 8, was eventually cancelled as pathologists were said to be conducting an autopsy on her to determine the causes of her death.
However, the programmes that were to precede her interment were held in Jos, Plateau State, and her home town in Delta State.
