An Indian sailor and his family – wife and two children aged three and two months – were found dead in their Mumbai home, according to the Times of India. Police suspect the sailor may have taken his own life by hanging himself at the residence in Navy Nagar. Initial reports suggest poison was involved in the deaths of the wife and children; however, the final cause of death will only be determined after postmortems are completed and released.
The Indian Navy has launched an investigation into the incident, and family members and neighbors are being questioned regarding the family's circumstances and any potential issues that may have contributed to their tragic end. The Navy has stated that they are providing all necessary assistance to the police in their investigation.
The family had reportedly left their children with their aunt prior to their deaths. The Indian Consulate in Dubai has confirmed the sailor's death at sea and has offered assistance to the family during this difficult time.
