DOH countered the results of the autopsy conducted by the MPD on Suzaine Dagohoy with their recent findings. Suzaine Dagohoy is one of the victims who took a sip of the Milk Tea sold on Ergo Cha in sampaloc. The DOH have reported that he died due to "shock secondary to ingestion of toxic substane."
The initial findings made by the MPD on the autopsy of William Abrigo, the second victim and the owner of the Ergo Cha tea house, showed that his throat did not show any indications that a strong substance, such as silver nitrate or cyanide, passed through
Health Secretary Janette Garin released a statement in a conference for the case of the Milk Tea incident, saying, "Preliminary results were negative for suspected toxic substances". They are looking at the case as a possible poisoning incident.
"The situation appears to be an isolated event, pointing to a possible case of poisoning. Let me emphasize that this is isolated. In fact, this is the third time the couple bought milk tea in the same food establishment. No untoward incident happened during the previous intake," Garin said. As the conference discussed on further she said that they will expand their tests to include blood, gastric and tissue samples obtained from the victims to determine the cause of death.
Garin also raised the possibility that the substances may have already been metabolized in the victims' bodies.
