Two reasons, two possible reasons.  Firstly, with due respect to Dr Chetty, I am not reflecting on his capacity, but I think there was an inadequate post-mortem, it wasn't properly done, that is one reason.  I think maybe just a viewing as Mr Ismail said, would have been done.
	Secondly, I, what happens after death is that the skin, the skin containing the scalp, tends to most commonly dry out and desiccate and it shrinks and forms a leather cap on the skull.  What happens is, that is several weeks afterwards, of course by the time I saw this, 10 years later, it is a different picture.  But immediately in the first few weeks, it forms a leather cap and it is frequently a very nice position to identify still remaining hair.
	You can easily overlook or mask a gunshot wound, if you don't remove the scalp tissue.
