    She had no illness, says sister

    Her sister Raman said she had no illness and used to stay very fit. Police have ruled out the suspicion of foul play. Although, they have registered a case of unnatural death. Police had written to the state-run Goa Medical College and Hospital (GMCH) asking for a team of doctors for the postmortem, which would be conducted today.
