“Following information from the staff of the hotel that an occupant of a room hadn’t come out for more than a day, police broke open the door and found Joseph’s lifeless body lying on the bed,” East Khasi Hills district SP Rituraj Ravi said.

Prima facie it seems to be a case of death due to overdose of sedatives and antidepressants and there are no signs of foul play, the SP said.

The body has been sent for autopsy. The family is being contacted and further investigation is being conducted, he added. (PTI)
