Police Speaks on Autopsy for Ifeanyi Adeleke

The Lagos State Police Command says it may conduct an autopsy to determine whether Ifeanyi died as a result of drowning in a swimming pool at his father’s residence in the Banana Island area of the state.

Reports say that it is standard practice for the police to conduct an autopsy in such a case.

However, a source told The PUNCH that the police would desist from the move if the deceased family members were against it.

It stated that, “Though the family members are not saying anything yet because they are still in shock but until anybody says stop, the standard procedure is to conduct an autopsy and we are going to follow that procedure just like in any case of death.”
