Late lance corporal Curtis Marshall
A series of additional tests and examination of vital body parts has concluded that lance corporal Curtis Marshall was strangled.
The additional tests were conducted by Forensic Pathologist Dr Valery Alexandrov, who explained to News Power Authority his conclusion, to be documented on the official report and forwarded to the Homicide detectives later this month.
Lance Corporal Marshall was found unconscious on the compound of the Defense Force headquarters in Chaguaramas last December 29.
He was taken to the Seventh Day Adventist hospital where he died shortly after.
An initial post mortem concluded that the soldier died from strangulation, as stated in the death certificate.
A second autopsy corroborated the results of the first.
However, in yet another examination of the body, requested by the Trinidad and Tobago Defence Force and conducted by Dr Hughvon Daisley, it was suggested that Marshall may have died from an asthma attack.
