Indian singer Zubeen Garg's death ruled as accidental
Indian singer Zubeen Garg's drowning near Singapore's Lazarus Island last September has officially been ruled an accident.
After a detailed investigation, the Singapore coroner found no signs of foul play and confirmed that Garg went swimming voluntarily the day before his scheduled performance.
Details of the investigation
Garg was on a yacht trip where he drank alcohol and decided to swim, first with a life jacket, then without it, despite friends warning him.
His blood-alcohol level was much higher than legal limits, and an autopsy found drowning as the cause of death; the coroner said a pre-drowning epileptic fit was possible but the evidence was inconclusive.
The coroner upheld the police finding of no foul play, and no one has been charged in connection with his death.
