Huci Autopsy Results Are Being Kept Secret
Alexandra Huci's autopsy was performed on Wednesday at the Timisoara Legal Medicine Institute. The gymnast was pronounced dead Monday morning, after her heart stopped beating as a result of her brain hemorrhage. Since the case has received a lot of attention from the media, everyone would have liked to know the exact cause of death. The doctors who performed the autopsy somehow managed to keep the results of the autopsy a secret. When we [Gazeta Sporturilor] asked about the autopsy, a stuck-up woman, who was way too aggressive and unhelpful for someone in her line of work -a secretary- told us she can't even give us the names of the doctors in the autopsy commission. Moreover, she told us we're making to big a deal out of this.Isn’t it possible the autopsy results are hiding important information from the press? Especially since the doctors wanted to determine whether death was caused by an aneurysm or a contusion. The only doctor who supplied any information, not confirmed by any of the legal doctors, was Antoniu Brînzeu, the doctor in charge of Huci's case. He said it looks like death was caused by an aneurysm. However, keeping the results a secret seems weird at beast, if not even dubious, and leaves room for all sorts of speculation. Was the accident caused by a hit, or by a congenital malformation as doctors explained until now?
Alexandra Huci's body was taken to her native village of Ion Creangă, next to Roman. Her funeral will be held Saturday because her sister Ana Maria is currently taking her graduation exams at Deva. Olympic champions Maria Olaru and Claudia Presăcan will attend the funeral. Maria Olaru also bought Alexandra clothes for her funeral [in Romania, a dead person will often be taken from the church where the religious ceremony is held to the graveyard in an open coffin and the clothes they wear are considered very important]. "I got goose bumps when I heard Alexadra's mother telling her daughter ‘Wake up, hon. Maria's next to you. Didn't you want to be like her someday [i.e., a great gymnast]?’” recalled Olaru.
