Langford had been staying at the hotel since March 24. He had returned to his room (No. 2715) on March 29. The following day, March 30, when the receptionist tried calling his room, there was no response.

The Marine Drive Police Station has registered an accidental death report and further investigation is underway. Officials said a postmortem examination has been conducted, and the exact cause of death will be determined after the report is received.

“Nothing suspicious has been found so far,” police said, adding that the case is being treated as an unnatural death pending further investigation.
