Renowned paranormal investigator Gaurav Tiwari was found dead under suspicious circumstances at his flat in Dwarka, Delhi. His body was discovered in the bathroom of his flat last Thursday.

Tiwari’s family says he was perfectly normal and there was no reason for him to take his own life.

However, the 32-year-old researcher who had got hitched in January, had apparently confessed to his wife about a month ago that he was being pulled by a negative force and he was finding it difficult to cope with it.  

The suspected cause of death was asphyxia as a black string was found around his neck, according to the initial postmortem report.

Tiwari was the founder of the Indian Paranormal Society and had visited more than 6000 haunted locations for studying paranormal activity.
