The report of Antov’s post-mortem which was conducted at the Rayagada district headquarters hospital, listed “internal injury” as the cause of death, sources in the hospital said. However, his viscera sample has not been preserved, they said.
Rayagada tehsildar Tapas Raut, who was the magistrate in charge on December 26, when the cremation of Antov was held, said he had verified the body before post mortem and “did not find any external injuries or blood”.
“The post mortem was conducted at around 4 pm on December 26 in my presence and he (Antov) was cremated between 6 pm and 7 pm on the same day. I don’t know whether family members of Antov had given the nod to conduct the post mortem or not. The police were looking after those formalities,” Raut said.
Antov, 65, was found dead on the top of a single-storey building adjacent to the main building of Hotel Sai International on the evening of December 24. Hours earlier, he had attended the cremation of his hotel room-mate Vladimir Bidenov (62). Bidenov was found lying unconscious in their room on December 22 “with a few empty wine bottles around him” in a suspected case of “heart attack”, according to police.
Rayagada district hospital authorities said the viscera of Antov has not been preserved, unlike in the case of Bidenov. “The decision to preserve the viscera of a deceased is being taken by the team of doctors that conducts the autopsy. In this case, there was no such suggestion from the two doctors who were assigned. Hence, we did not preserve it,” Rayagada Chief District Medical Officer Lalmohan Routray told The Indian Express.
