The cause of death was certified as “Septicemia and shock in a person undergoing medical and surgical treatment due to extensive soft tissue injury to right arm consequent to blunt force impact by surface and/or object(s).”
The body has been handed over to the family for final rites. Mormugao police have registered a case of unnatural death under Section 194 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita.
