Bengaluru has seen several similar cases of late, with a Central Crime Branch (CCB) inspector posted in the city being found dead last week in a deserted area of Bidadi. In yet another case from last week, Bengaluru police discovered the severely decomposed body of a 59-year-old British national in a Koramangala VII Block apartment. The deceased was identified as Gavin James Young, a chef who had been residing in the US. He may have died by suicide after overdosing on medication.
