Iranian authorities had removed several organs from dual national Jamshid Sharmahd before transferring his body to Berlin after his sudden death in an Iranian prison while awaiting execution, the family’s lawyers said Friday.
The lawyers said autopsy results revealed that several organs, including his tongue, larynx, thyroid, and heart had been removed before his body was transferred to Germany, hindering a full investigation into the cause of his death.
The possibility that Sharmahd may have been poisoned cannot be dismissed, according to lawyer Patrick Kroker.
His body was in poor condition Kroker said, adding that the corpse had only two teeth remaining.
