The autopsy was done by pathologist Steve Kamiza whom the family hired and was conducted in full view of Dr Ben Chilima the deceased elder brother. The report details Veeps cause of death as massive intrathoracic haermorrhage; severance of ascending aorta and ruptured left and right atria, high velocity blunt force injury to the chest and fractured base of the skull. The report adds that Dr Chilima had open fractures of the legs, lacerations as deep as 16cm, killing him instantly.
Red soil and blades from the crater that the plane created on impact were found on Chilima wounds.
Dr. Chilima's thumb and fingers were rigidly frozen in a grip around his rosary. He must have clinged to rosary desperately as the plane was in freefall heading for a crash, then his fingers froze in that position in an instant once the initial impact killed him.
Injuries found on Dr. Chilima and others were UNSURVIVABLE.
Not much bleeding after the initial impact, consistent with the fact that by the time place stopped and ejected Dr.Chilima and five others from the plane, the blood circulation had already ceased because they were already dead.
No evidence was found on the bodies or their injuries to suggest that the passengers were manhandled or that they were alive for any period time after the initial impact.
Dr Saulos Chilima died following a military plane crash in Chikangawa forest on June 10.
