Postmortem  

Dr Oduor said examination revealed that Korir’s respiratory tract was full of "soot", an indication he was still breathing as the fire burnt him.

He inhaled a lot of soot, an indication that he took a lot of time in the car before he died," said the Government Pathologist.

"The summary is that this is a person who died in a car fire. The circumstances and what caused the fire is what we cannot tell,” he added.
