An autopsy conducted by the Lagos State Police Command has revealed the cause of the death of Ifeanyi Adeleke, son of Davido and his fiancée, Chioma Rowland.
According to The PUNCH, the state Police Public Relations Officer, Benjamin Hundeyin revealed that the autopsy showed that Ifeanyi died as a result of drowning.
Hundeyin said, “Autopsy has been concluded. It confirms the boy (Ifeanyi) drowned.”
According to a reliable source who confirmed the development, it is common procedure for the police to do an autopsy in such a situation; but, if the deceased’s family members object, the police will refrain from proceeding.
“Though the family members are not saying anything yet because they are still in shock but until anybody says stop, the standard procedure is to conduct an autopsy and we are going to follow that procedure just like in any case of death,” the source said.
The source added that of the eight domestic employees questioned by police in connection with Ifeanyi’s death, the chef and nanny, whose job it was to care for the three-year-well-being, old’s were held for reasons including failing to uphold the duty of care owed to the child.
