Initial findings from the probe into the death of Police Constable Rockliff Cozier indicate that the drugs administered to him prior were not a contributing factor, Health Minister Dr Frank Anthony said yesterday.
Meanwhile, the post-mortem has listed the cause of death as brain haemorrhage, brain edema and cerebellar herniation. A cerebral herniation occurs when brain tissue, blood and cerebrospinal fluid shifts from their normal position inside the skull.
The police last Tuesday reported that Constable Cozier, who was infected with chickenpox received two injections earlier in the day and subsequently took pills which are being distributed to treat filaria.
