  "account": "Several Bollywood celebrities have met untimely deaths in their homes, raising concerns about their well-being. Sanjay Gupta's death in 2021 highlighted a troubling pattern, with his body discovered by family members after an apparent accidental fall. Earlier, Guru Dutt's mysterious demise in 1964, attributed to a suspected overdose, sparked discussions about suicide. Parveen Babi's 2005 death, found by a housing society secretary, revealed an isolated existence. Om Puri's 2017 death, discovered by his driver, was attributed to a massive heart attack. Mahesh Anand's 2019 death, found by domestic help, led to an accidental death registration. Brahma Mishra's 2021 death, discovered due to a foul smell, occurred after living alone for months. Ravindra Mahajani's recent death in 2023, suspected to have occurred two to three days prior to discovery, adds to the unsettling trend.",
