Bengaluru: Halasuru police, investigating the deaths of two foreign nationals in Conrad hotel’s swimming pool, are waiting for official communication from the Embassy of Slovak Republic to conduct the autopsy and hand over the body to the family members and consulate general concerned.
Both men injured in the incident — American tourist Mathew Desantis, 41, and hotel employee Rahul Tiwari, 28 — have been discharged from hospital after treatment.
Another officer said, “Though it appears that the deaths were due to electrocution in the swimming pool, we are waiting for the report from electrical inspectors. Once we receive it, officials will conclude the investigation, including the autopsy report from doctors. Bescom officials have been asked whether the power connection was legal and, if it is, whether the connection was of commercial or domestic nature. We’ll take further action based on the reports.”
