KOTA KINABALU, Sept 7 — The Coroner’s Court heard today that the father of the late Zara Qairina Mahathir was never asked for his consent regarding an autopsy on his daughter.
Testifying before Coroner Amir Shah Amir Hassan, Mahathir Mohd Hashim @ Marikin, 45, said a doctor confirmed Zara’s death in his presence at Queen Elizabeth Hospital I (HQE I) on July 17, 2025.
