Philipsburg:--- The autopsy that has been requested by the prosecutor's office for 8 year old Syeisse Frampton can only take place sometime next week confirmed press prosecutor Rienk Mud. Mud said St. Maarten shares pathologists with Curacao and at this moment there is only one pathologist on duty. Mud said he has been informed that the autopsy can only take place next week, leaving the investigation into young Syeisse Frampton's death at a standstill until the autopsy is conducted.Syeisse Frampton lost his life while in bed on Old Year's Day as he was spending time with his father. The young child was healthy and his body bore no marks of violence when he died.
His sudden and suspicious death prompted the prosecutor's office to request an autopsy so they as well as the doctor at the St. Maarten Medical Centre would know the exact cause of death of this young child.
The child's mother and grandmother expressed concerned over the sudden death of their loved one and have since called on the police and prosecutor's office to arrest the person who the child was with when he died. It should be noted that when the child was taken to the St. Maarten Medical Centre he was already dead.
On New Year's Day when the mother and grandmother spoke to SMN News exclusively we made several attempts to contact Syeisse's father on his cellular phone but he refused to answer our calls. When SMN News continuously called Mr. Frampton he switched off his cellular phone.
Relatives of the father has since contacted SMN News claiming that we did not contact the child's father to get his side of the story and that the story published on New Year's Day is in their view one sided. The Frampton's even asked that the publication be removed and stated that they do not want any media on St. Maarten to cover the story.
SMN News would like to make clear that we value people's opinion thus we are allowing people to comment freely on all our news items. Besides that, the sudden death of a young and healthy child deserves questioning.
