According to the  doctor who conducted the post- “One bullet passed through the vest and hit him in the chest, while the other hit him in the upper abdomen. There were six bullet hits. Not a single bullet was recovered from his body.  Shock and haemorrhage from the bullet injuries led to his death”.
