The body was examined for marks of violence, but none was seen. A black wallet containing the deceased man’s ID card and a bank card were found in the right-side front pants pocket.
A Samsung Galaxy S9 cellphone was also found next to the body.
The body was escorted to the Diamond Diagnostic Center by the Police, where it was pronounced dead.
