The autopsy report of the cause of the death of a 19-month pupil of Arise and Shine Nursery and Primary School, Asaba, Delta State, Obinna Udeze who was reportedly flogged 31 Strokes of Cane by her school teacher cum proprietress, is reported out.
According to the autopsy report, Obinna who suffered brutality from his school teacher died of septic shock in consequence.
The spokesperson of the Delta State Police Command, DSP Bright Edafe, in confirmation of the reports to the news men, noted that the autopsy was done at the Federal Medical Centre, FMC.
”The autopsy report indicates septic shock as the cause of death. That is what I can say, for now, let the medical doctors and lawyers interpret what that means”, he said.
According to National Health Service, UK:
Septic shock is a life-threatening condition that happens when your blood pressure drops to a dangerously low level after an infection.
Any type of bacteria can cause the infection. Fungi such as candida and viruses can also be a cause, although this is rare.
At first the infection can lead to a reaction called sepsis. This begins with weakness, chills, and a rapid heart and breathing rate.
Left untreated, toxins produced by bacteria can damage the small blood vessels, causing them to leak fluid into the surrounding tissues.
This can affect your heart’s ability to pump blood to your organs, which lowers your blood pressure and means blood doesn’t reach vital organs, such as the brain and liver.
People with a weakened immune system have an increased risk of developing septic shock.
This includes:
newborn babies
elderly people
pregnant women
people with long-term health conditions, such as diabetes, cirrhosis or kidney failure
people with lowered immune systems, such as those with HIV or AIDS or those receiving chemotherapy
