So, he quickly gained the title of ghost investigator, UFO addict, and a trifle around the country.

The last part of Tiwari’s life is still not clear despite his larger than life character. He was dead in his bathroom on 7 July 2016 at just 32 years old, living in Dwarka, Delhi, with a very thin black line on his neck and signs of suffocation on his body. His family was the first one to know about it; they heard a loud noise, and after they forced the entry into the locked bathroom it was too late. Medical interventions were powerless at that moment.

However, the official explanation did not stop the speculation. Some people who were close to him told that Tiwari had talked of feeling attracted by strange ‘negative forces’, while others indicated that there might be family conflicts or work related stress which might have influenced his mental health.
