Overview
- Singapore Police, which announced the case closure on Wednesday, pointed to a March 25th coroner’s ruling that found accidental drowning and no foul play.
- Investigators said Garg removed his life jacket, re‑entered the water alone, became unresponsive while swimming back, and was pulled aboard as CPR began before he was taken to a hospital.
- Toxicology showed a blood alcohol level of 333 mg per 100 ml, a level linked to severe impairment, while other detected drugs matched treatment for epilepsy and high blood pressure.
- The coroner ruled out anaphylaxis and found no evidence that anyone forced Garg into the water or held him under, addressing claims raised after his death in Singapore’s Lazarus Island waters.
- Assam officials said their case will proceed in a fast‑track Guwahati court based on a December charge sheet naming seven accused, four on murder counts, and police in Singapore urged restraint in public comments on the judgment.
