KUALA LUMPUR, July 13 — The family of Baharuddin Ahmad, who died during last weekend’s Bersih rally, is upset that his post-mortem report has been delayed and will only be released next month.
Eldest son Mohd Nasrul Baharuddin said his was told on Saturday the report would be ready in “four to five days” but was informed by Kuala Lumpur Hospital today that the document will only be issued in four to five weeks.
“What’s happening? The body’s been buried so what are they waiting for?” the 22-year-old told The Malaysian Insider.
“I hope the doctor will release the results because… I’d like to know why my father died.”
Baharuddin, 56, died at Kuala Lumpur Hospital on Saturday evening after collapsing near KLCC during the Bersih rally while running away from tear gas and water cannon bombardment by the police.
He was laid to rest at 12.55pm the next day at Lembah Keramat Muslim Burial Ground here, just three kilometres from his home.
