Man found dead with burnt laptop by his side

Asphyxiation is suspected to be the cause of his death.

All the doors and windows of his bedroom were closed and it was full of smoke. A burnt laptop near his bed was found, the police said. The police suspected that his laptop probably caught fire while he was asleep from a cigarette he was smoking. His body has been sent for post-mortem.

Last November,34-year-old Sayan Chowdhury,an employee of a multinational company,had died in his sleep with his burnt laptop located near him. The post-mortem on Chowdhury had confirmed that his death was caused by inhalation of carbon monoxide while he was asleep in his locked room.
