Sylvester Oromoni died as result of his parents, school’s negligence, says pathologists

Both the school and the parents, according to a Lagos-based medical practitioner who requested anonymity, failed to provide the late Sylvester Oromoni (Jr) with the medical attention he deserved.

When the deceased made his dying declaration, he could have been disoriented and hallucinating, according to him.

“The black substance found in the boy’s stomach could be as a result of the ‘trado-medical’ medicines prepared for him in church,” the radiology and pathology expert speculated. “The parents bear a greater share of responsibility for their son’s death.”

Corroborating the above analysis, a medical consultant, Dr. Hameed Adediran, said the pathologist that revealed that the boy died of sepsis was more painstaking in his submission. He also said the parents could have saved the life of their child if they didn’t treat the case mildly.

Dr. Sunday Soyemi, a consultant pathologist, who has conducted over 500 autopsies, blamed the parents of the deceased for negligence, saying sepsis, which led to the boy’s death, could have been treated with “massive doses of intravenous antibiotic, intravenous fluid, and blood transfusion.”
