Fresh details surfaced in the coroner’s inquiry into singer Zubeen Garg’s death. Witnesses revealed that Garg had consumed alcohol on a yacht shortly before drowning. Testimonies indicated he drank liquor, including gin, whisky, and Guinness Stout, before entering the water.
The investigating officer shared that Garg initially swam, returned to the yacht tired, and then went back into the water. Garg’s medical history, including hypertension and epilepsy, was examined. Forensic analysis found medication for these conditions in his blood, but it was inconclusive if he took his epilepsy medication that day.
A forensic pathologist testified that there were no physical signs of an epileptic seizure before Garg entered the water. The yacht’s captain testified that Garg, needing support to board due to intoxication, entered the water without a life jacket. Witness statements suggested Garg entered the water voluntarily, with no suicidal intent.
