Dead trainee's family wants answers
[snip]
In Ipoh, Perak Health Committee chairman Datuk Dr Mah Hang Soon said a committee comprising various medical experts had been formed to look into the death of Vinoth.
"To my knowledge no other trainees from the camp had been warded."
The teen's father, S.Raman, 47, said he was not satisfied with the initial post-mortem finding and requested for a second one.
Raman claimed that his son was bleeding from the nose after his death. A police report had also been lodged by Raman.
Abnormal bleeding is not uncommon in leptospirosis, and it is often present in fatal cases. The most common site is the lung, and other complications, such as intracerebral hemorrhage, occur only rarely [17].
