Family’s lawyer says pathologists ‘worked in tandem’ for autopsy of Adrianna Younge

Darren Wade, the legal representative of the family of Adrianna Younge, on Monday night, said that the three pathologists working on the girl’s autopsy determined that she died as a result of drowning.

And the lawyer, during a media briefing, confirmed that the pathologists all worked together and were observed by many, including family members, local authorities, and he (Wade) himself.

“They worked in tandem,” he said.

Mr. Wade also clarified that there was no evidence of sexual assault, nor were there any broken bones or fractures found on her body. According to Wade, the family was informed that the markings on Adrianna’s skin were consistent with drowning, aligning with the overall findings of the forensic investigation.

“The pathologists conducted a meticulous and comprehensive examination,” Wade said. “In fact, they went beyond the standard procedures typically followed in such cases.”

He also revealed that the pathologists were initially prepared to hold a media briefing to address all questions and provide a detailed account of their findings.

However, concerns for their safety amid ongoing unrest outside the hospital compound prevented them from doing so.
