A post-mortem was conducted on only one of the 18 bodies, Abu Fateh Md Shafiqul Islam, additional deputy commissioner of Dhaka, told bdnews24.com. The bodies of the other victims were transferred without post-mortem at the request of their families. The grieving families picked up the bodies of 10 victims from Dhaka Medical College Hospital, four from the Combined Military Hospital (CMH), three from United Hospital and one from Apollo Hospital, the additional deputy commissioner added. Asked about the number of bodies that have yet to be handed over, he said, “We have to match the names of the victims before answering this. But the transfer of most bodies without post-mortem has made it difficult to determine the cause of deaths.
