Investigations into the cause of death of Mrs. Ronke Shonde, who was allegedly murdered by the husband Lekan, deepens. The much awaited autopsy report, which has been released have shed further light into the circumstances that led to her death.

The autopsy report which was taken to the State Criminal Investigation and Investigate Department (SCIID), Panti, Yaba, at exactly 8.45pm on Wednesday cited one of the chief cause of death as Respiratory Seizure.

The autopsy which was finally concluded on yesterday by pathologist at the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital (LASUTH), examined amongst other things, the bruises on her skin.

A police source who spoke to THISDAY said although other possible causes were listed, none of them were inflicted by violence or aggressive battering.

According to the source, although it was not clear what brought about the seizure, the other bruises on her body did not establish that it led to her death.

A medical doctor with the general hospital, who spoke with THISDAY on anonymity explained that seizures can be caused by a change in the behavioral state resulting from an abnormal electrical activity in the brain.
