Death of Sushant Singh Rajput
On 14 June 2020, Indian actor Sushant Singh Rajput was found dead at his room in Bandra, Mumbai, aged 34. The cause of death was ruled as suicide, with official postmortem reports confirming Rajput died of asphyxia due to hanging. The Mumbai Police launched an investigation into the death, which had become a subject of widespread speculation and rumours.
The case was handed to the Central Bureau of Investigation, who filed a closure report on 22 March 2025 ruling out foul play.
A week before his suicide, Rajput had searched for three subjects multiple times on the Internet: Disha Salian, who he had worked with on some projects and who had died about a week before him; news reports containing his own name; and information about a mental illness.
On 13 June 2020, the night before his death, Rajput retired to his bedroom after dinner. At around 2 a.m. on Sunday, 14 June, he made two phone calls; one to Bollywood actress Rhea Chakraborty and another to television actor Mahesh Shetty. However, neither call was answered. Rajput then woke up early that morning. Sometime later, he searched for information on "schizophrenia", "bipolar disorder" and "painless death" using Google.
Two of Rajput's friends were living with him. On the morning of 14 June, he spoke to his sister over the telephone at around 9 a.m. and an hour later, he had a glass of juice and his tablets. At around 11:30 a.m., his cook knocked several times on the door of his room, to confirm the menu for the day. He and Rajput's friends received no response. They then called a locksmith to open the door, after which they called Rajput's sister and the police. He was found hanging from the ceiling fan. No suicide note was recovered.
The Indian Express reported that the Mumbai Police said the actor had shown symptoms of clinical depression and was consulting a psychiatrist since some time. Times Now reported that medical papers and anti-depressant pills were found in his house.
The Mumbai Police commenced an investigation, stating the death was being treated as a suicide. A team of three doctors conducted an autopsy and submitted their provisional postmortem report at Bandra Police Station. On 15 June 2020, the Mumbai deputy commissioner of police said, "The provisional cause of death is asphyxia due to hanging." The final postmortem report, received on 25 June 2020, confirmed the cause of the death as asphyxia due to hanging and said it was a "clear case of suicide." The autopsy doctors placed the time of death at 10 to 12 hours before postmortem examination on 14 June at 11:30 p.m.—meaning between 11:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. (Indian Standard Time). The report added that no foul play was found. On 27 July 2020, Mumbai Police received the viscera report, which likewise ruled out any foul play.
On 15 June 2020, the then Maharashtra home minister Anil Deshmukh stated that the police would also probe "professional rivalry" in the film industry as the cause of Rajput's depression. The police revealed Rajput was upset with being linked to the death of Disha Salian. Salian had died five days before him, and a case of accidental death was registered. She died after falling from the fourteenth floor of her building. On 3 August 2020, Police Commissioner of Mumbai Param Bir Singh said investigators had found no link between the deaths of Rajput and Salian.
