TUMAKURU: Even as parents ruled out suicide after mysterious death of their only son Dr Girish, the administrative medical officer (AMO) of Community Health Centre(CHC) at M N Kote in Gubbi taluk, doctors who conducted autopsy suspect that a mixture of an antibiotic and anaesthetic drug might have caused his death.
“He was an asthma patient and used to take the drugs,” Girish’s parents Guramma and Chandrashekar M Awari stated in a complaint with the Gubbi police.
The Resident Medical officer(RMO) at the district general hospital, Dr Rudramurthy, who conducted the autopsy suspected that it might be a case of suicide as the deceased had taken an anaesthesia which ensures painless death.
“The used bottle of Ceftriaxone antibiotic was found aside him. It cannot itself cause death as it’s meant for bacterial infection,” he added. However, he clarified that the chemical analysis at Forensic Science Lab in Bengaluru will reveal the exact drug or anaesthesia which caused the death.
