It has now been revealed that all recent deaths in Jaffna had been caused by identified illnesses.
A formal investigation into all deaths reported from Jaffna in the last three months was conducted by a team led by Director of the Epidemiology Unit, Anil Dissanayake. According to this investigation, it has been concluded that all reported deaths were due to identified illnesses.
Accordingly, medical evidence indicates that all these deaths can be clinically confirmed. It has also been confirmed that these deaths have not happened within one family or among close relatives.
The Epidemiology unit of the Ministry of Health says the rumours that the deaths are due to an unidentified reason are false and that is has been proven scientifically.
The unit further added that therefore media reports that deaths of nine persons within one family had occurred due to an evil spirit are untrue.
