Interior ministry spokesman Brigadier Javed Cheema said in a news briefing here that Benazir Bhutto was hit by sunroof lever on her right side, which caused her death.
Bhutto was killed on Thursday in a blast when she left her election campaign rally in a park in the garrison city of Rawalpindi, some 30 kms south from Islamabad.
Earlier, media reports suggested that gunshots or bomb blast could be the direct cause of Bhutto’s death.
Cheema confirmed that three gunshots were fired but none of them hit Bhutto. A report signed by seven doctors showed that there was no bullet or shrapnel inside her body.
Bhutto was laid to rest alongside her father’s mausoleum in the village of Ghari Khuda Baksh in the southern province of Sindh on Friday. Bhutto’s husband Asif Zardari did not allow doctors to perform postmortem on Bhutto.

There was no gun shot wound neither a shrapnel but there was an oblonge wound on the right side. If some one was sitting in the back of the car inside the dark space of the tinted glasses armored car he could hit a spanner or something like with full force on the right side of the head of Benazir Bhutto, killing her with a single wound. It is also on the record that firing and blast took place at the left side of the car and there was no chance that she could move her head at 180 degree. It is an assumption any way.
