According to a report published in indianexpress.com, source at Oshiwara police station has revealed that according to Puri’s post-mortem report, there was a one-and-a-half inch deep and four centimetres long injury on his head. The cause of the injury is not known yet.
Om Puri’s driver was the last person in contact with Puri before he passed away. The driver told the police, “Puri sir had consumed alcohol. He also wanted to meet his son Ishan but it didn’t happen. He was emotional during the evening, but I don’t think there is any suspicion about his death.”
Earlier, a source told Bollywood Hungama that Om Puri consumed alcohol at night and was found in his apartment’s kitchen by his manager. The website quotes Puri’s friend as saying, “His faithful secretary and friend Mr Mishra raised an alarm when Om wouldn’t open the door. When they finally got in, they found Om on the floor.”
Om Puri died early morning on January 6, 2017, reportedly due to a cardiac arrest. However, Mumbai Police have registered a case of accidental death and now new details have emerged around Puri’s death.
