Health Ministry Statement on the Autopsy of Youssef Hassan Al-Ramouni
(Communicated by the Health Ministry Spokesperson)
On Monday afternoon, 17 November 2014, an autopsy was carried out on the
body of Yousef Hassan Al-Ramouni by personnel from the National Center for
Forensic Medicine with the participation of Dr. Saber al-Aloul, who was
chosen by the family.
The findings of the autopsy indicate self-hanging.
There were no findings that indicated the involvement of any external agent
in the act of hanging.
We are continuing various laboratory tests in order to clarify whether or
not any foreign substances are present in the body fluids.
During the autopsy, there was agreement – including by the pathologist
chosen by the family – regarding the findings and their significance; there
was no suspicion that death was caused by anyone else.
