Cecil Sampat, the man who succumbed on Wednesday almost two weeks after he was allegedly shot following a police chase in the city, died as a result of sepsis caused by gunshot injuries, an autopsy confirmed on Friday.
His sister, Erica Tullaram, who witnessed the autopsy, confirmed the findings to Stabroek News.
Tullaram said it was revealed that her brother was shot four times about his body and not three as the family was initially told.
“The one that went in the lower back. He had one that went in the side, the right side that punctured the lungs and the other one in his leg. He keep telling us that the police shot him when they pull him out the vehicle but today we confirm that. The two bullet that shot in in his right leg, that broke his leg also was the two bullets that we got when the police took them out and shot him. So it’s four,” Tullaram explained.
