The body of a 58-year-old Irish national was found near the Anubhav Hotel near Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus early on Sunday. According to the police,Thomas Pali Bolgar had come to Mumbai on September 20 and had been staying at the Diplomat Hotel in South Mumbai. Shashikant Satav,Assistant Commissioner of Police (MRA Marg area),said at 1.40 am on Sunday they received a call about the body. They reached the spot and took Bolgars body to the St George Hospital and are awaiting the post-mortem reports to find out the cause of his death. The police have registered a case of unnatural death,but suspect Bolgar might have died a natural death as there were no injury marks on his body. The police are enquiring why he had come to the area and if he had met anyone before his death. Satav said they do not know why Bolgar was in the city. Bolgar was staying alone. We have asked the hotel,Special Branch and the Ireland consulate to give us his details and background. He was a foreign national,so we have to investigate all angles and cannot comment until the post-mortem reports arrive, said Satav.
