Man suffocates to death in parked car

Gurgaon: A 37-year-old man’s body was found in his car, parked near Aravali Biodiversity Park, in DLF-3 area on Sunday morning.
A passer-by, who noticed the body, made a PCR call, following which cops broke open the car and brought the body out. With the help of the documents, he was identified as Sujoy Manekar.

“The cause of death seems to be heart attack due to suffocation. We have initiated a viscera examination to help us determine the exact cause of death,” said Dr Deepak Mathur, who conducted the postmortem.

“We are from Ranchi and have been staying in Faridabad from the past few years. Around six months ago, Sujoy lost his job. Since then, he had been suffering from depression and started drinking heavily. On April 3, Sujoy left home for an interview but did not return in the evening. I spoke to him over phone, but every time he sounded heavily drunk. On April 5, I spoke to him the last time and asked him to come back home. But he never returned,” said Devshree, wife of the deceased.

The body was later handed over to the family. “We found an empty liquor bottle from his car. He must have dozed off in an inebriated state and died due to suffocation,” said inspector Ram Kumar, SHO of DLF-3 police station.
