Kathmandu, July 25 (HS). The postmortem of all the 18 bodies recovered from the plane crash that took place at Kathmandu's Tribhuvan International Airport on Wednesday has started today. The postmortem is taking a lot of time due to the bodies being in a very bad condition. Therefore, it is likely to take two more days to hand over the bodies to the relatives.
All the 18 bodies of the plane crash victims have been kept in the forensic department of the Institute of Medical Sciences in Maharajganj, Kathmandu. The head of the department, Dr. Gopal Chaudhary, said that a team of 25 doctors has been deployed to start the postmortem from this morning itself. Dr. Chaudhary said that it will take at least four hours to conduct the postmortem of one body. He said that during the postmortem, any pre-death marks on the teeth or face will be searched for. If any such mark is found, then an attempt will be made to identify the bodies on that basis. If no such mark is found on the bodies, then DNA testing of such bodies will be done.
Dr. Chaudhary said that every minute detail about the deceased has been taken from the family members of all those killed in the plane crash. Along with this, blood samples of all of them have also been taken. The hospital administration has informed the family members of the deceased that the bodies can be handed over only after two days. The reason behind this is that the transfer of bodies cannot take place until the post-mortem of all the bodies is done.
