Late Ssemogerere Body Samples Sent For Poison Test.

 

A personal physician has said pathologists have extracted multiple samples from the body of Paul Kawanga Ssemogerere, the former president general of the Democratic Party (DP), to test, among others, for any traces of poison.

“They took off specimens from all the organs, they took off blood, to examine [for]any possible cause of poisoning”, said Dr Charles Kasozi, adding, “they took about seven samples of blood [and]they also took parts of organ of the brain, heart, kidney, liver, pancreas, adrenal gland, bladder, prostrate and stomach oesophagus. They will be examined and those results will be ready in 14 days”.

While stating that preliminary investigations show “urinary tract infection” as the cause of death, Dr Kasozi said they decided to conduct toxicological inquiries because Ssemogerere’s death on Friday morning, was “unexpected”.
