Bengaluru: A 21-year-old student was found dead in his paying guest accommodation in Ashwath Nagar, east Bengaluru, after allegedly inhaling toxic fumes from an insecticide spray.
Pawan, a native of Tirupati, had returned to Bengaluru on Monday night from his hometown without informing the PG owner. His three roommates were still away on a Deepavali break.
He went into his room and slept, unaware that the PG owner had sprayed a bug disinfectant inside.
On Tuesday morning, a security guard checking the rooms found him lying unconscious. Pawan was rushed to a hospital, where doctors declared him dead.
HAL police have registered an Unnatural Death Report and are investigating.
