A man in Rajkot was found dead in his apartment by a neighbour.
According to information sourced from the police, Dr Jay Patel, an anaesthetic residing in Swarnabhoomi Apartment at Nana Mava in Rajkot, was found dead in his apartment by a neighbour.
The neighbour had received a call from Patel’s employer that he had not reported to the hospital for his duties. As Patel’s parents were out of town, the neighbour decided to check on him.
They had found the door of the house unlocked, and upon entering, found Patel lying unconscious on the bed. An injection syringe was found beside him.
Patel was immediately rushed to the hospital in an ambulance, where he was declared dead.
During the investigation, the police revealed that Patel may have died due to an overdose of anaesthesia. A tissue paper was recovered from his bedroom, on which a message was written: ‘Kindly contact my jiju (brother-in-law).’
Family members informed the police that Patel was married for the second time, and his divorce case from his second wife was ongoing. His estranged wife currently resides in Mumbai.
The police are suspecting that marital issues may have contributed to this tragic event, but further investigations are ongoing in the case.
