Teens at East London tavern 'did not die of natural causes'

"I don't know if we can say what happened, for now, I did ask the person who's leading the autopsy, Dr Zondi and he says they are collecting the information that can tell us the situation. What he has confirmed is that it's not a natural death that's taken place."

Seventeen teenagers died at the scene, three passed away at medical facilities and one died en route to the hospital. "The theory of stampede is fading off as there are other theories that I imagine but it looks like those scientific theories. So I'm not qualified to talk until I'm told exactly what happened."
