Heart in custody of Jordan Hosptal by Ananda Kannangara The Sri Lankan Ambassador in Jordan K. Marimuttu yesterday confirmed that the heart and other vital organs of the body of Sri Lankan female worker Ranbandi Devalage Dayawathie who died in Amman, Jordan had been removed by doctors at Al Bashir Hospital in Jordan for further analysis. The body of late Dayawathie was airlifted to Sri Lanka last week without vital organs. Referring to a letter sent by Ambassador Marimuttu to the Sri Lanka Bureau of Foreign Employment (SLBFE) Chairman, SLBFE Susantha Fernando said that several parts of the body of late Dayawathie including her heart, the lungs, liver, kidney, skin and blood samples have now been kept in the Forensic Medicine Centre laboratory of the Al Bashir Government Hospital for investigations under the custody of the Director of the hospital Dr. Mohamed Nassal. He further said that the death of Dayawathie has not been ascertained and the doctors have informed that after the analysis the autopsy report will be released after about two months. However the doctors in the Al Bashir Hospital are of the opinion that the probable cause of the death of Dayawathie that occurred on July 19 could be Bronchial Asthma. He further said that Sri Lankan Embassy Counsellors in Jordan Indranath Rodrigo and A.W. Pathiraja had visited the hospital on Sunday (August 3) to investigate the above incident. Fernando also said that the employer of Dayawathie, Mohammad Mustafa Dahdah had informed the Sri Lankan Embassy on the death of his domestic worker on July 19, the day after her death reported from the hospital. The employer had also told the Embassy that the late Dayawathie had breathing difficulties and admitted to hospital on the same day she died. |
