A Guyanese woman travelling to India for medical purposes was found unconscious in a transit hotel at Kempegowda International Airport (KIA) in Bengaluru, India, on Wednesday, and was later pronounced dead at a city hospital.
Dead is Racquel Olivia Chandni Seecharran, a Guyanese national who worked as an accountant at HFS (Hughes, Fields and Stoby) law firm in Guyana.
According to a report by The Hindu published on September 16, Seecharran had arrived at KIA from London on a Virgin Atlantic flight at about 18:10h on Tuesday, September 15.
She was scheduled to travel onwards to Mangaluru on an IndiGo flight at 14:35h on Wednesday. She was reportedly travelling for medical purposes.
The Central Industrial Security Force (CISF), which is responsible for security at KIA, said Seecharran was staying at a transit hotel in Terminal Two.
At around 10:30h on Wednesday, as her scheduled hotel checkout time approached, a receptionist attempted to contact her by telephone. However, she did not answer the call or respond to further attempts to reach her.
Hotel staff subsequently checked the room and found Seecharran unconscious.
She was taken to a city hospital, where she was later declared dead.
The circumstances surrounding her death were not immediately disclosed. Indian authorities are expected to determine the cause of death as part of the ongoing proceedings.
