A second post-mortem was conducted on Selangor Customs assistant director Ahmad Sarbani Mohamed to ensure that the proper procedures were followed.
The second examination was conducted by Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia Medical Centre head of forensic unit Professor Dr Shahrom Abdul Wahid in the presence of federal deputy CID director Datuk Acryl Sani Abdullah Sani.
It is learnt that Acryl Sani was not present during the initial post-mortem conducted on Wednesday night as he was away.
Meanwhile, emotions ran high as Ahmad Sarbani’s body was claimed by his family at 4.30pm for burial.
Hundreds of Customs officers, relatives and friends accompanied the body to the Customs Department Mosque in Kelana Jaya to pay their last respects.
Many had been waiting since early morning for the body, which arrived at the mosque at 5.10pm.
Ahmad Sarbani’s mother, known only as Aishah, fainted as prayers were being recited.
His distraught father, only known as Mohamed had to be escorted out of the mosque by relatives.
The body was taken to the Kota Damansara Muslim cemetery at 5.40pm and he was laid to rest at 6.15pm.
Ahmad Sarbani leaves a wife, Maziah Manaf, and five children.
He worked as a hospital attendant at the Kuala Lumpur Hospital before joining the Customs Department.
At the time of his death, he was a Selangor Customs assistant director.
Some of his colleagues said that they did not believe Ahmad Sarbani could have taken his own life.
One of his colleagues, who declined to be named, said that the deceased was a cheerful and athletic man.
“I was saddened to hear about his death. I stayed up the whole night crying,” she said, adding that she did not believe Ahmad Sarbani would commit suicide.
