A special panel of doctors from the Colombo National Hospital (CNH), who conducted an inquiry into the demise of Ven. Maduluwawe Sobitha Thera yesterday informed court that the cause of death given by the Singaporean hospital authorities was in keeping with the documented clinical features and sequences of events that were already known and therefore a need does not arise to request for an inquest or post mortem report.
Filing their report into the investigation into the death of the Thera, the committee, which included Director General of National Hospital, Anil Jasinghe and five others, said that they were satisfied about the treatment given to the late Thera and that the committee could not find any form of negligence on the part of the hospital in question. The Committee also mentioned that there was no evidence to suggest that any part of the records of the late Thera had gone missing.
After scrutinizing all the medical documents received from the Colombo National Hospital, Neville Fernando Teaching Hospital and the Central Hospital, the committee suggested that due to the fact that all the documented clinical features were in keeping with the cause of death given by the Singaporean authorities, their committee too agreed with that diagnosis.
Earlier, the Court directed Dr. Jasinghe to appoint a special panel of doctors to look into the death of Ven. Maduluwawe Sobitha Thera following a request made by the CID on a complaint made to them by Ven. Uduwe Dhammaloka Thera.
The special panel comprised of Dr Anil Jasinghe (president of the panel), Dr Ajith Thennakoon, Dr Kumudini Ranathunge, Dr Nimali Fernando and Dr Iresh Wijemanne.
