Dacera Urine Samples Raise More Questions Than Answers Says Pathologist
DACERA CASE – Instead of answers, urine samples taken from the body of flight attendant Christine Dacera prompted more questions says a forensic pathologist.
The death of Christine Dacera had become one of the most controversial cases of 2021. Earlier, an initial autopsy report was released stating her death was caused by an “Aortic Aneurysm“.
But, Dacera’s camp still believed there was foul play in the events that led to her death. As such, a new investigation was initiated with the NBI taking the helm.
This time, forensics reported that urine samples were extracted from Dacera’s dead body. However, according to a forensic pathologist, the fact that a sample was even extracted raised several questions.
During an interview with Super Radyo dzBB, Dr. Raquel Fortun emphasized that the procedure of the extraction should be fully documented.
“Maraming tanong dyan. Totoo ba ‘yan? Anong nakuha nila? How much? How labeled? Kung ebidensya ‘to, at saka may chain of custody mo, so dapat walang question na hindi ‘yan yung nanggaling sa kanya. Baka napalitan, baka na-contaminate. Maraming issue dyan“
Additionally, Fortun said she’d be surprised if the NBI did manage to extract a urine sample. Earlier, the PNP already reported that her bladder was empty during the initial autopsy. “I would be, actually, surprised kung meron nga”, she stated.
As such, she questions why the doctor of the initial report said the bladder was empty and the second one said it wasn’t. Furthermore, she asked who among the doctors is telling the truth and who is not.
Fortun explained that the “urine sample” extracted from Dacera could just be “Embalming Fluid” and not urine.
“Ang tanong ko is paanong…hindi siguro bladder ‘yan baka embalming fluid lang ‘yan sa mga body cavity. Tapos lumabas ‘yung istorya na, hindi, sa ano raw talaga ito, sa bladde“
