On September 18, 2019, a court in Kenya granted a rare exception to the law, allowing Michael Cohen's wife to attend her husband's postmortem examination.
Michael Cohen, a 45-year-old man, had passed away under unclear circumstances, prompting an investigation by the authorities.
The court's decision to allow Cohen's wife to attend the postmortem was seen as a significant development in the case, as it is not a common practice in Kenyan law for family members to be present during such examinations.
