Police recovered several capsules from the scene, further strengthening suspicions of an overdose. A formal post-mortem examination will be conducted to ascertain the exact cause of death.
The tragic incident highlights the devastating impact of drug addiction, even amongst those seemingly leading successful lives abroad. The family’s loss underscores the urgent need for increased awareness and robust support systems to combat this pervasive societal challenge.
