PUNE: A man (81), staying in a hotel room on Apte Road, was found dead around 9am on Tuesday. The Deccan Gymkhana police on Tuesday night registered an accidental death case.
Senior inspector Vipin Hasabnis of the Deccan Gymkhana police said, “A hotel staffer knocked on the man’s room after he did not call for tea or coffee in the morning. When he did not respond, the police was informed, who broke open the door. He was found sitting motionless in a chair. We moved him to the Sassoon General Hospital, and he was declared dead on arrival.”
