The Singapore Police Force (SPF) has announced that its investigation into the death of Indian singer Zubeen Garg could take up to three months to complete. Garg, 52, was found unconscious at St. John’s Island on September 19 and later pronounced dead. While initial reports suggested a scuba diving accident, authorities have clarified that he was swimming at the time of the incident. The SPF noted that no foul play is suspected but emphasized the need for a thorough probe.
In response to inquiries from the Indian High Commission, the SPF has shared preliminary autopsy findings and the initial police report. Upon completion, the findings will be submitted to Singapore’s State Coroner, who will decide if a formal coroner’s inquiry is required. Authorities have urged the public to refrain from speculation and allow a professional investigation to proceed.
Garg had traveled to Singapore to attend a cultural festival and was scheduled to perform at its fourth edition. His sudden death has shocked fans and the music community alike. The SPF has reaffirmed its commitment to a comprehensive investigation and requested patience and understanding from the public during the process.
