Kathmandu, 25 July (HS):- Identification of the bodies of 18
people who died in the plane crash on Wednesday in Kathmandu is difficult as
the bodies were recovered in a charred condition. The team of doctors at the
Forensic Department of the Institute of Medical Sciences carrying out the post-mortem
are struggling to establish the identity of the deceased. Head of the
Department Dr Gopal Chaudhari said that the process is time consuming and two
more days will be required before they are handed over to the relatives.
If required, DNA tests will be conducted for establishing
identities of the deceased. Detailed information about the deceased is being
collected from the family members. The bodies will be handed over only after
conducting the autopsy of all the dead bodies, Dr Chaudhari said.
