Impossible To Tell From Remains In Storage Locker How Babies Died: Pathologist

Darpan News Desk IANS, 30 Aug, 2016 12:30 PM
    WINNIPEG — Ontario's chief forensic pathologist says there's no way to determine the cause of death for six infants whose remains were found in a Winnipeg storage locker.
     
    Dr. Michael Pollanen outlined at the trial of Andrea Giesbrecht several ways the babies could have died — from death in the womb to being killed after birth.
     
     
    But he said the advanced state of decomposition makes it impossible to say.
     
    Giesbrecht, who is 42, is accused of concealing the bodies in the storage locker.
     
    Pollanen was brought in to do a peer review of the work by Winnipeg pathologist Raymond Rivera, who examined the remains in October 2014 after they were found.
     
    He agreed with Rivera that all appeared to have been full term babies who could have survived, but there is no way to know how they died.
