鈥楿nnatural鈥 death of minister鈥檚 wife
Print Edition
The wife of Indian minister Shashi Tharoor, found dead in a luxury hotel after accusing her husband of being unfaithful, suffered an “unnatural, sudden death,” a doctor who performed an autopsy on her body said yesterday.
“More tests” are needed to determine the cause of Sunanda Pushkar’s death and the final results will not be known for two to three days, Sudhir Gupta, one of three doctors who performed the autopsy, told reporters.
He added Pushkar’s body had “some physical injuries,” but it was unclear whether they were related to her death.
After the autopsy, Tharoor and other mourners carried his wife’s shrouded body on a litter garlanded with marigolds for cremation.
Tharoor found his wife dead in a luxury hotel room on Friday, just two days after she accused him on Twitter and in other media of having an affair with a Pakistani journalist, Mehr Tarar.
“There were no signs of any foul play,” his press assistant told reporters.
A police probe has been launched into her death.
Earlier yesterday, Tharoor was admitted to the same hospital where his wife’s autopsy was performed after complaining of “general chest discomfort,” a hospital spokeswoman told reporters. He was released as tests were clear.
In one of her last tweets, which later appeared to have been removed, Pushkar, 52, wrote: “Whatever is destined to happen will happen, will go smiling.”
