Indore (Madhya Pradesh): A panel of three doctors conducted the autopsy of the 62-year-old British businessman who was found dead at his residence under Rau police station limits on Friday night.
The exact cause of death has not yet been ascertained and his PM was videographed and all the procedures defined for a foreign national were followed.
According to the police, the deceased was identified as Christopher Perry, a native of Rustington, England, who had been living in Silicon City, Indore for the past two years. He was a co-partner in Steelint Blasting Equipment Pvt Ltd, Pithampur.
DCP (zone-1) Krishan Lalchandani told media reporters that his partners were trying to contact him but he did not respond. They grew suspicious when Perry did not open his house for a long time.
They broke open the door around 9 pm and found him lying dead in his hall with some tablets of headache also lying near the body. The police informed his family members in England. He lived here alone and has three daughters who live in England.
