Dr N.P.Singh, Professor, Medicine, said, "It is unlikely that overdose could cause death... people survive even if a patient takes 100 times more dosage and it is unlikely that a person would die despite systemic lupus erythematosis."

The experts also say that it needs to ascertained as to whether Sunanda was taking the medicine on the doctors' prescription of on her own. They say that histopathologic tests must be conducted to ascertain the exact cause of her death. The police had earlier found some used strips of Alprax inside the hotel room where Sunanda Pushkar had been found dead.

Doctors say in most cases patients with such overdose survive if rushed to hospital in time. Unfortunately in Sunanda’s case, sources say rigor mortis had set in the body by the time it was taken to the hospital.
Earlier, in their autopsy report,AIIMS forensic experts had said that Sunanda died of poisoning, but had shied away from clarifying what kind of poisoning. They also said that her body had injury marks but, again, had not specified what kind of injury marks were seen on her body during the autopsy.

Experts say that only the viscera examination might not be enough to ascertain how she died of poisoning. They say that an incomplete autopsy will be futile and unless histopathology is done it will be difficult to find out how she died. This examination will ascertain her exact cause of death... what kind of poision was there... Did her body react adversely to any medicine due to some inherent ailment or not.
Based on the autopsy report, the SDM who is investigating Sunanda Pushkar's death, has asked the police to inquire whether her death due to poisoning was accidental, suicidal or homicidal.
