caused by acute myocardial infraction. The examination of the body revealed several
small, oval shaped, dark maroon scars with 0.2, 0.1 and 0.3 cm in diameter covered
with dry crust in the area of the upper lip, on the projection of the nose-lip wrinkle
and next to the chin. The examination did not find any traces of external injuries. The
injuries are inflicted by a blunt force trauma from three to four days before death. All
the injuries are qualified as light traumas and could not have induced death.
The forensic report indicates the following medical diagnosis: chronic cardiac ischemic
disease, acute myocardial infraction, atherosclerotic coronary sclerosis, myocardial
fibrosis, post-infraction scars in the myocardium, hypertrophy of miocardiocitis,
lipodystrophy, aortal atherosclerosis, chronic interstitial pneumonia, chronic
bronchitis, and chronic pleuritis with pleural fibrosis, chronic hepatitis, kidney cyst,
and kidney glomerular sclerosis.
It should be noted that a letter received from the Medical Department of the Ministry
of Corrections does not provide any proof that tests and treatment regarding vascular
and other diseases indicated in the postmortem report were provided to the convict.
Importantly, an intensive care therapist arrived only after an hour to attend to the
unconscious patient.
R.M.
A convict R.M. born in 1983 was transferred to Rustavi Clinics from the Institution N6
of the Penitentiary Department on June 22, 2014. However, R.M. died on the way to
the hospital. The medical documentation shows that a medical report was filed on
June 13, 2014 after a doctor and a nurse visited the convict in his/her cell. The convict
had a cross-section cut on the right lower limb. According to a medical record the
patient sustained the injury from hitting the limb against a sink. The convict refused to
be examined by a surgeon.
According to the report N003186414 by the National Forensic Bureau, the death
was called by acute vascular insufficiency inflicted from acute ischemic damage to
cardiomyocitis. The body shows straight-edge wound on the internal surface in the
mid third of the shin induced by a sharp blade object during lifetime eight to ten days
prior to death. These injuries are qualified as light and could not have caused death.
The forensic reports indicates the following diagnosis: acute vascular insufficiency,
cardiac ischemic disease, acute focal ischemic disease of cardiomyocitis, coronary
atherosclerosis, cardioscrelosis, swelling of brain-tunic and the matter; lung TB with
the hyperplasia of peribronchial lymph nodes and the mediastinum (A15;2). The blood
sample examination confirmed the presence of Diazepam and Clozapine.
It is worth noting that a letter received from the Medical Department of the Ministry
of Corrections does not indicated that the patient had been administered any tests
related to cardiovascular diseases. Also, in spite of the two tests on TB (the last test
was administered two days prior to death) the diagnosis of TB was not confirmed.
