He was found dead near the bathroom. The 108 ambulance arrived promptly and informed them that they had arrived to check on him and that he had died five hours before.



They then notified the authorities. After receiving the information, the police collected the body and transported it to a government hospital for a post-mortem. They also registered a complaint and are investigating.

Police preliminary inquiry has indicated that he may have committed suicide owing to mental anguish after losing up to Rs 90 lakhs in cricket betting.
