KUALA LUMPUR, April 2 — Teoh Beng Hock was alive when he had fallen nearly ten floors, Thai forensic pathologist Dr Pornthip Rojanasunand told the royal panel investigating his death today.
But Dr Pornthip said she could not determine if the DAP political aide was conscious during his fatal plunge in 2009 outside the then Selangor Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) headquarters in Plaza Masalam in Shah Alam.
“He was alive on landing,” she told the Royal Commission of Inquiry (RCI) today.
Dr Pornthip also said Teoh’s state of consciousness could not be determined based on the fractures in his feet.
“Landing on (the) feet means nothing… I cannot go to that conclusion (that he was conscious when he fell),” said the flamboyant forensic expert.
