    "Delay in post-mortem can happen especially in the times of COVID-19. In my view if you have consumed something and you are alive for a certain number of hours then only it gets mixed with the blood stream but in this case if you die in a few hours nothing would go in the blood stream as nothing can be consumed so I don't think the delay would have impacted so much but in any case the post-mortem says that it has found nothing in the stomach and that is pretty disturbing," said family lawyer and senior advocate Vikas Singh.
