One of the government pathologists, Benedict Kolee has provisionally announced the ‘cause of death’ of the daughter of former Chief Justice Cllr. Gloria Musu Scott, who reportedly died from multiple stabbing wounds following an attack on her home in Brewerville recently.
Speaking Tuesday, March 21, 2023 to a team journalists following the conduct of an autopsy on the body of the late Charloe Musu, Pathologist Kolee said he was releasing what he called ‘a provisional cause of death of Charloe Musu’ until the final determination is made after scientific examination on the body was done with the final results set to come out in two weeks.
However, the autopsy process was done in the presence of about 20 persons, including two family members, human rights groups, civil society organization (CSO) among others.
According to him, the late Charloe Musu died as a result of excessive loss of blood from a rapture left or right artery that caused massive hemorrhage which went on to suppress her left lungs from functioning properly.
“She lost so much blood on the inside and outside after a piercing below her left rib which cut one of the arteries that made blood to flow in the chest leading to collapse of her left lungs,” Pathologist Kulee stated.
Pathologist Kolee at the same time further clarified that due to the interest in the pathological outcome, he was releasing what he called ‘a provisional cause of death report’ pending the final outcome after conducting a scientific exercise on the deceased body.
Commenting on the process, the Pathologist maintained that the exercise was very laborious and was witnessed by about 20 persons, including two family members of the deceased, human rights organizations, law enforcement officers, civil society among others.
He then assured about the reliability of the outcome of the autopsy conducted by him and his other colleague, and stressed, “Our work will speak for us. For reliability, our work will speak for us. What we did was scientific as our work will speak for us.”
It can recalled the home of former Chief Justice, Cllr. Gloria Musu Scott was attacked on three separate occasions by unknown assailant (s) for reasons that have never been established by the Liberia National Police (LNP) and other law enforcement agencies.
Nevertheless, since the attacked, the Liberia National Police has named some prominent citizens which include Monrovia City Mayor, Jefferson Koijee, Varlee Tarleh, a security officer of the Monrovia City Police, and former Chief Justice, Cllr. Gloria Musu Scott as person of interest into Charloe’s death.
