A tragic incident unfolded in Chandigarh's Sector 39 on Sunday morning, where a 50-year-old man was found dead under suspicious circumstances. The police suspect it to be a case of suicide and have initiated a formal investigation into the matter.
Discovery of the Body and Immediate Response
Passersby in the park made the grim discovery when they noticed the body of a man hanging from a tree. They immediately alerted the local police authorities. The deceased has been identified as Naveen, a resident of Sector 39 in Chandigarh. Emergency services were rushed to the scene, and the man was quickly transported to the Government Multi-Specialty Hospital (GMSH) in Sector 16.
Unfortunately, doctors at the hospital declared him dead on arrival. No suicide note was recovered from the crime scene, leaving the police to rely on other evidence and testimonies to piece together the events leading to his death.
Police Investigation and Family Statement
The Chandigarh Police have kept the body in the mortuary at GMSH-16 for a post-mortem examination. They have also officially started inquest proceedings under relevant legal sections. Preliminary examination by the police revealed no external injury marks on Naveen's body. However, the exact cause of death will only be confirmed after the detailed autopsy report is received.
Investigators later managed to trace and inform Naveen's family, who live near the park. In their statement to the police, the family members revealed that Naveen was a habitual drinker. Significantly, they stated that they held nobody responsible for his death, providing a crucial perspective to the ongoing probe.
Awaiting Official Findings
The case remains under active investigation. While the absence of a note and the family's statement point towards a personal struggle, the police are awaiting the conclusive findings from the autopsy report to determine the precise cause and circumstances surrounding Naveen's untimely demise. The final report will be pivotal in closing the legal proceedings.
