The time of death is estimated to be the previous night, raising questions about why the bodyguard was present at the court premises at that hour.
The police are in contact with the deceased’s family to gather more information about his mental state and recent activities. Investigators are also scrutinising his social media accounts to determine if he had been struggling with any personal issues before his tragic death.
While suicide remains a strong possibility, authorities are keeping all angles open in their probe to uncover the real reason behind the bodyguard’s untimely demise.
