Sri Lanka, Sept. 5 -- The post-mortem examinations for the victims of the bus crash on the Ella-Wellawaya road are expected to be completed shortly, according to Dr Palitha Rajapaksa of the Badulla Hospital.

Dr Rajapaksa stated that the initial decision to bring all the bodies to the Badulla Hospital was revised to prevent further damage during transport.

Instead, the post-mortems on the bodies at the Diyatalawa Hospital were conducted there.

The bodies at the Bandarawela Hospital were, however, brought to Badulla for their post-mortem examinations.

The post-mortems at the Badulla Hospital are being carried out by a team that includes Judicial Medical Officer Kamala Wijeratne and Judicial Medical Officer Akila Ratnayake.
