Were the UM cat injuries caused by sharp objects?

Question

Accepted Answer

No Evidence Suggests Sharp Objects Caused UM Cat Injuries

Post-mortem examinations on four cat carcasses found at Universiti Malaya have concluded that their injuries were not caused by sharp objects. The Veterinary Services Department's findings indicate that the deaths likely resulted from natural causes, accidents, or animal-inflicted wounds unrelated to deliberate harm. Investigations into a fifth carcass are ongoing.
Animal Bite Marks Identified on Initial Carcasses

The initial two cat carcasses discovered on December 17 exhibited clear signs of animal bite marks. These findings suggest that interactions with other animals may have contributed to the injuries sustained by these cats.
Severe Chest Injuries Led to Circulatory Failure

Two of the examined carcasses presented with severe chest injuries that resulted in significant blood loss. This blood loss ultimately led to a failure of their circulatory systems, indicating a traumatic but not necessarily malicious cause of death.
Lacerations and Rib Injuries Consistent with Natural Causes or Accidents

Further examination revealed that uneven lacerations on one carcass and rib injuries on another were not consistent with the use of sharp objects. Instead, the nature of these injuries suggested they stemmed from natural causes or accidental events. Specifically, a carcass found on December 20 displayed uneven lacerations on three legs, and another found on December 25 had injuries to its left ribs and heart, believed to be from broken ribs, along with stomach lacerations.
