New Delhi, Oct 7: Mahsa Amini died from multiple organ failure brought on by cerebral hypoxia rather than from blows to the head or body, according to Iranian coroner’s report, the official news agency IRNA reported on Friday.
More than two weeks of widespread demonstrations have been sparked by the death of Amini, while she was in the morality police’s custody in Iran. Her father claimed she had bruises on her legs and blamed the cops for her death.
“Her death was not caused by blow to the head and limbs. It did not say whether she had suffered any injuries. The report did say she fell while in custody due to underlying diseases,” said the coroner’s report.
“Due to the ineffective cardio-respiratory resuscitation in the first critical minutes, she suffered severe hypoxia and as a result brain damage,” it added.
