Forensic Institute Begins Second Autopsy on Hlun Solo’s Body

Bangkok: The forensic institute has initiated a new autopsy on the body of "Hlun Solo," following its arrival at the Institute of Forensic Science. Doctors have confirmed that a fresh autopsy must be conducted to ascertain the cause of death.

According to Thai News Agency, immediately after the body was transported to the Forensic Science Institute under the Ministry of Justice, Assistant Professor Dr. Woravee Waiwuthi, Director of the Forensic Science Institute, disclosed that the family requested a second autopsy. This is to determine the cause of death conclusively. Once the autopsy is completed, the findings will be discussed with the family before any media release. The process will involve a comprehensive examination, starting with a CT scan due to the body's deterioration over time. There is uncertainty about whether an autopsy was performed in Georgia, as the body and related documents have not been reviewed yet.

For deaths abroad, the country's autopsy report is typically required, contingent on local laws. In this case, coordination through the M-FAX program is necessary due to the absence of diplomatic relations with Georgia, which has not yet provided any autopsy documentation.

Somchai Butsri, known as "Moss," stated that this will be the first autopsy conducted on Hlun Solo. The family has expressed concerns and desires a thorough investigation, including checking for toxins and other possible causes of death. Despite receiving a death certificate, the family has not been provided with Georgian autopsy results or specifics about the remains or tests conducted.

The family intends to compare autopsy results, particularly concerning toxins, as the initial investigation showed no signs of physical harm. Concerns have been raised about sudden infant death syndrome, although it remains ambiguous. If evidence of physical abuse surfaces, the family plans to pursue legal action.

Pertaining to Hlun Solo's belongings, only her passport was returned, with no other possessions.

Autopsy results are expected by tomorrow, after which Hlun Solo's body will be returned to Kalasin Province for religious ceremonies. Cremation arrangements will be discussed by the family, while the grandmother remains hopeful, expressing gratitude to those who helped bring Hlun home.
