Update at 10.45pm
Got the following sms at 9.57pm but could not write about it earlier as I was still at the Civic Centre, PJ for the anti-ISA vigil.
Post mortem done. Family members and YB Manickavasagam in meeting with pathologist.
This next sms came in at 10,06pm
YB Gobind just went in with Kugan’s mother and grandmother.
sms that came in at 10.17pm
Lawyer Surendran just went in.
Am told that the pathologist will now have to write up his report, whereafter the same will be released to the hospital administration before it can be released to the family of Kugan.
Assuming that there is no controversy with regard to the much awaited second autopsy, I am informed that the funeral will in all likelihood be on Tuesday, 27th January, 2009.
I will try to keep you all informed of the details of the funeral and would urge all of you to make time to join me in paying our last respects to this anak Bangsa Malaysia who has passed on in the most tragic of circumstances, and to share in the grief of his family.

Update at 1.13pm :
Got the following sms at 12.40pm : Pathologist just informed family the hospital administration, after a meeting, ruled out any observers including lawyers. Family has no objection. Started.
I just spoke to the informant. He clarified that the sms was sent about 15 minutes or so after the family had met the pathologist and informed as detailed in the sms.
The post-mortem, that was scheduled to begin at 9am, was delayed to enable an x-ray to be done of the body.
After those intending to view the autopsy from the viewing gallery had, as required, surrendered their handphones, the family was summoned in to meet with the pathologist who informed them that he had received word that the hospital administration had, after a meeting this morning, decided and directed that no observers of the post-mortem would be allowed. This included family members of the deceased.
So as not to delay the procedure any further, the family have relented.
The informant understands that the post-mortem has begun.
