Malaysia announces autopsy results in Kim Jong-nam case

This strange case is at a dead end after the first forensic results were announced.

The man believed to be Kim Jong-nam (gray shirt) minutes before his death.

Preliminary autopsy results of the North Korean (Malaysia believes it is Kim Jong-nam, the brother of the North Korean leader) who was murdered at the airport show that the victim did not die of heart failure. In addition, there were no unusual puncture marks on the body. The information was announced by the Malaysian Ministry of Health on February 21.

Earlier on February 13, the man believed to be Kim Jong-nam died after being approached by two women who allegedly threw a poison substance in his face. The two suspects were later arrested. Meanwhile, the North Korean Embassy in Malaysia denied that the man killed was Kim Jong-nam.

Malaysian Health Minister Datuk Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah said the cause of Kim Jong-nam’s death was not yet known and authorities were still waiting for further autopsy results. “There were no unusual marks on Kim Jong-nam’s body,” the Straits Times reported.

In the security video of the last minutes, "Mr. Kim Jong-nam" was seen talking to airport security staff after being poisoned. A few minutes later, he was taken to the airport emergency room in a state of confusion and dizziness and then passed away.

South Korean media has suggested that Kim Jong-nam died from poisoning with a needle laced with a drug. However, signs on the victim’s body do not support this theory.

The next autopsy results are expected to be announced today, February 22. Yesterday, at the Kuala Lumpur Hospital, four mysterious cars without license plates appeared at the morgue. The Straits Times reported that the cars were carrying Kim Jong-nam's son who came to identify his father.
