Lawyer Questions Autopsy Findings in Student Rojin Kabaiş's Death

The lawyer representing the family of Rojin Kabaiş, a student at Van Yüzüncü Yıl University whose body was found 18 days after she disappeared, has raised new questions about the autopsy report. Abdurrahman Karabulut stated that the presence of certain substances in Kabaiş's stomach is not consistent with the timeline of her death.

It cannot be shown as normal and expected for a drug given intravenously 34 days ago to be found in the stomach.

Karabulut specifically highlighted the substance Rocironium, which he claims was administered intravenously. He argues that it is abnormal for such a drug, given 34 days prior to death, to be found in the stomach. He also noted that while the report mentions 5 ng/mL in decomposition fluid, the amount in the stomach was not specified, making it difficult to assess the significance of the finding.

Saying it was given during surgery, therefore it appeared in the stomach, is not scientific proof on its own.

Challenging the explanation that the substance was a remnant from a surgery performed 34 days earlier, Karabulut stated, "Saying it was given during surgery, therefore it appeared in the stomach, is not scientific proof on its own." He emphasized that the normal effects and elimination of rocuronium from the body typically occur within hours to days, making a 34-day presence highly unusual. While some experts suggest traces can remain for 60-70 days in fluids like eye fluid, urine, or blood, Karabulut pointed out that the autopsy report did not detect the substance in these samples.

The normal effect and elimination of rocuronium from the body occur within hours to days; 34 days is a very long time.

Karabulut has appealed to forensic medicine experts, urging them to provide any scientific studies that support their findings. He questioned the postmortem distribution of the drug and why it would specifically accumulate in the stomach. The lawyer concluded that the presence of rocuronium in the stomach has not been definitively proven to originate from the surgery conducted 34 days prior to Kabaiş's death.
