Could Septicemia Be The Cause For The Death?

Dear Sir, My nephew aged 17 yrs. met with an Road accident and admitted in Hospital , He was having problems in lungs. Doctors applied Ventillator and after five days he recovered smartly. But he was on liquid diet. On seventh day , due to negligence of Hospital staff my Nephew expired because they gave him solid food instead of Liquid and that choked in his wind pipe. Doctors gave the reason Fat Ambolism . After our Protest , Postmortom was done and the Organs were sent to Forensic Lab and Pathology Lab . Forensic Lab writes No common poison could be detected and Pathology Lab writes Microsections examined show areas of Haemorthage and congestion in the right lung. Based upon these reports Postmortom Doctors gave cause of death is Septicemia. Can this be the reason for the Death. I request you to please answer my Query. Regards Rajesh Khattar

septicemia can be the cause of death, when patients mostly on the ventilators the infection rates are more and they can go into septicemia, infection can cause congestion of lungs, vasodilatation, lowers blood pressure, hemorrhage etc
