The Metropolitan Police UK on Friday, August 17, said the cause of death has been established for a Nigerian man who died in Chislehurst, London. 

 

Oluwadamilola Odeyingbo, 18, died in hospital on the morning of 10 January 2018 from injuries sustained following a reported altercation in Empress Drive just after 21:00hrs the previous evening.

 

 

A post-mortem examination conducted on 12 January failed to establish a cause of death. A special post-mortem has now concluded and gave a cause of death as multiple organ failure from a pre-existing medical condition.

 

Officers from the Met’s Homicide and Major Crime Command, having consulted with the CPS, are satisfied that no offences of murder or manslaughter have been committed.

 

There are ongoing enquiries in relation to other offences not linked to the death of Mr Odeyingbo.
