An autopsy of the body of farmer Franklin Brito has been completed, as reported by his relatives who were at the morgue of Dr. Carlos Arvelo Military Hospital waiting for the body to be handed over to them.
Based on the autopsy, Brito's death was due to a septic shock in addition to respiratory arrest due to caloric-protein malnutrition resulting from several hunger strikes.
The funeral will take place in Caracas; the body will be subsequently taken to Río Caribe, eastern Sucre state.
Brito's health lately deteriorated. Since last Friday, August 20, he was unconscious as a result of induced coma.
Franklin Brito, 49, left a wife and four children. He passed away on Monday night, waiting for an answer from President Hugo Chávez about the ownership status of his property located in La Tigrera, a country settlement in southern Bolívar state.
