29-Year-Old Doctor Dies Under Mysterious Circumstances
Panaji: The decomposed body of a 60-year-old doctor from Tamil Nadu was found in a flat in Talgaon on Thursday, prompting an investigation by the Panaji police.
The deceased, identified as Dr. Franklin Dias, had been residing alone in a rented apartment at 'Apsara Manzil' in the Barbhat area of Talgaon. According to reports, he had not been seen for several days, raising concern among neighbours. A foul odour coming from his first-floor apartment led them to notify the Panaji police. Upon arrival, officers knocked on the door and attempted to call out to the doctor. Receiving no response, they forcibly entered the flat and found Dr. Dias lying motionless on the bed in a severely decomposed state.
