The deaths of former Tata Group chairman Cyrus Mistry and his friend Jehangir Pandole were caused by "severe head trauma and multiple external and internal injuries to vital organs", their autopsies found.
The post-mortem on Cyrus Mistry and his friend Jehangir Pandole was done at state-run JJ Hospital after their bodies were brought from Kasa sub-district hospital in Palghar around midnight on Monday.
In the case of Mistry, an autopsy revealed severe head trauma, which led to a haemorrhage (heavy bleeding). Multiple fractures in the chest, head region, thigh, and neck. According to doctors from JJ hospital, these kinds of injuries are suffered when there is a major jolt to the body, like when the car goes from 100 to zero.
“Cyrus and Jehangir suffered multiple trauma and had injuries in the head, chest, and limbs. These injuries can cause instant death,” said a doctor.
JJ authorities said the viscera samples will be sent to the Forensic Science Laboratory (FSL) in Kalina. A viscera analysis is done to check for traces of chemicals, alcohol, and poison, among others. Sources said samples have been kept for DNA analysis too.
