Sunanda Pushkar's Autopsy Over; Doctor Declares a Case of Sudden & Unnatural Death
The head of the three-member panel of doctors that conducted the autopsy on Pushkar, said, "We have conducted the postmortem inspection... It is a case of sudden, unnatural death" but ruled out poisoning. However, he said the team has preserved certain "biological samples for toxicological analysis as well as visco-pathological examination."
"We have completed the whole procedure. Samples for toxicological analysis means ruling out any poison. Some pathology of the heart has been preserved by us," he said.
Pushkar was found dead in her suite at the hotel and the body was shifted to AIIMS at around 3:30 AM for post-mortem. Police is also probable to record statement of Tharoor, who was admitted to AIIMS following complaints of chest pain and was discharged later.
Pushkar and Tharoor were at the centre of a raging argument when reports emerged that she was upset over reported text and tweet messages between her husband and Mehr Tarar, a Pakistani journalist.
Gupta, who is Head of Forensic Sciences Department at AIIMS, said the autopsy report would focus on investigating from a medical angle the sudden unnatural death.
He said the final autopsy report will be prepared within next couple of days after receiving reports of toxicological analysis and visco-pathological examination.
"After receiving all these reports in the next couple of days, we will finalize the postmortem report and we will give our opinion in the case," he said.
When asked about the injuries on the body, he refused to give details saying as police was working on the case, certain issues cannot be revealed.
"There were certain injuries on the body. I cannot disclose the details of the injury. Basically in medico-legal cases, the number of injuries does not matter. Whether these injuries were related to fatality or not matters," he said.
Asked whether the injury caused death, he refused to give a direct answer.
Pushkar and Tharoor had checked into the hotel on Thursday as their home was being painted.
A joint statement from the couple on Thursday said that they were "happily married" but distressed by "some unauthorised tweets". Pushkar had accused Tarar of "stalking" her husband and trying to "break" her marriage when she was away for medical treatment. She had told a couple of newspapers that she was considering divorce from Tharoor in the wake of the alleged extra-marital affair.
The Pakistani journalist rubbished the charges of having any relationship with Tharoor.

Sunanda Pushkar, Wife of Union minister Shashi Tharoor, Found Dead in Hotel
Sunanda Pushkar, wife of Minister of State for Human Resource Development Shashi Tharoor, was found dead in a luxury hotel Friday night, police said.Sunanda Pushkar, the wife of Union minister Shashi Tharoor, was found dead in suite 345 of Leela Hotel on Friday evening. Her death comes within 48 hours of her going public about her husband's alleged affair with a Pakistani journalist, raising doubts of suicide, although no note has been found.
Her body was reportedly found by Tharoor when he returned to the hotel in the evening after Friday's AICC session. The couple are said to have moved out of the minister's official bungalow as it was being painted. The police were informed by Tharoor's PS Abhinav Kumar.
The tragic end came even as Twitter was still buzzing about the public display of anger, betrayal and accusations involving Tharoor, Sunanda and Pakistani journalist Mehr Tarar. There were also reports of Sunanda talking of divorce, although she ended the talk on Thursday.
The police initially suggested it was suicide. But late at night, the officers were more guarded. Police sources said it could be a "natural or unnatural death". They said all angles were being probed: suicide, poisoning and death due to a sudden heart attack. A forensic team had come to the hotel and a magistrate was called for the interrogation of Tharoor and his PS.
As the marriage was less than seven years old, section 176 of the CrPC kicked in and the police was conducting investigations to rule out any dowry angle. Delhi police will also ask Twitter to give details of direct messages between Sunanda and Tarar.
People who had spoken to Sunanda in the past two days described her as very disturbed and distressed over her husband's relationship with Tarar.
TV anchors with whom she had corresponded on Thursday night said she had spoken about her poor health and depression. Sunanda, who was with Tharoor in Thiruvananthapuram last week, underwent treatment at a private hospital two days ago.
She was unwell and diagnosed with Lupus and stomach tuberculosis, said a hospital source. Lupus is a medical condition arising from deficiency in immunity which damages healthy tissues. It is learnt that she had spent four days in hospital.
"My wife's illness means I need to be with her and will miss all five events of Jaipur litfest in 2014. I promised to atone in 2015," a tweet by Tharoor at 8.01pm read.
Journalist Vir Sanghvi said on TV he had met her a few weeks ago and the usually bubbly woman was not herself. "...I feel there is something deeper here," he said.
