Post-mortem on six-year-old with mystery illness inconclusive

A post-mortem examination on the remains of six-year-old Akila Sandy who succumbed on Monday at the Georgetown Public Hospital (GPH) from a mystery illness could not determine the cause of death.

A relative told Stabroek News yesterday that samples were sent out of the country for toxicological testing and the results are expected to be back in two weeks’ time.

Her two sisters; two-year-old Destiny and 18-month-old Devine were also hospitalised at the GPH but their condition is said to be improving.
