Kiptum autopsy report released! The fatal injuries were caused by a fractured skull, and the family received the results of the examination

On February 22, local time on Wednesday, Kenyan pathologist Dr. Johansen Ulduar released Kiptum's autopsy report. The marathon world record holder died of a severe skull fracture. Kiptum's family has accepted the autopsy results announced by Dr. Ulduar.

According to the report released by Dr. Ulduar, Kiptum died of severe head trauma from a car accident. In addition to the severe head trauma, Kiptum also suffered rib fractures of varying degrees on both sides and lung damage.

"The late Kelvin suffered severe head injuries and had severe skull fractures, mainly at the base of the skull. In addition to this, there are fractures in both ribs. ”

"The first, second, and third calcaneal ribs were fractured on the left, and the first, second, third, fourth, fifth, and seventh ribs on the right side were fractured, and there were also lung injuries. But what really led to Kelvin's death was a serious head injury. ”

Dr Ulduar said biological samples had been taken from Kiptum for further analysis, and the test was aimed at determining whether there were any external factors that contributed to his death.

Kiplagat, a spokesman for the Kiptum family, said he witnessed the whole process from 11 a.m. to around 1:40 p.m. Their family recognized the entire autopsy process and results and are now awaiting the results of the analysis of biological samples.

In accordance with local custom, Eldoret residents gathered in droves on Wednesday night to mourn the marathon world record holder. On February 23, local time, Kenya will hold a state funeral for Kiptum to bid farewell to the long-distance running legend. The state funeral was held on the 24th, but it was brought forward to the 23rd due to President Ruto's schedule.
