Ishmeet died of drowning, says report
Putting speculations of foul play in singing sensation Ishmeet Singh's death to rest, the four-member board of doctors of Government Medical College, Patiala, has concluded that he died of drowning and not due to head injury.
The viscera report after thorough investigations has been sent to the Ludhiana Civil Hospital for further action.
Ishmeet had drowned in a swimming pool in a hotel in Maldives on July 29 when he had gone there for an international event. After a post mortem by a panel of doctors, the viscera had been sent to Patiala to find the cause of death. His family had demanded a probe into Ishmeet's death.
After receiving the report, the Government Medical College authorities had constituted the board under Manjit Singh Bal, head of pathology department.
"During our investigations, we found fluid in his lungs and there was a minor external head injury, which couldn't have caused death," Bal told TOI.
The demand for a high-level probe had been gaining momentum and even chief minister Parkash Singh Badal had urged Prime Minister Manmohan Singh to inquire into the matter.
