The deceased, S Srinath Reddy, was pursuing a Master’s degree at De Montfort University in Leicester after moving to the UK around 14 months ago.
While the cause of his death has not been officially confirmed, his family said they are yet to receive any clarity from the authorities. Speaking to reporters, Srinath’s father, Madhusudan Reddy, appealed to both the Centre and the Telangana government to help bring his son’s body back to India as soon as possible. “We still do not know what exactly happened. We request the Central and Telangana governments to help bring our son’s body back home at the earliest," he said. According to the family, Srinath had spoken to them on the night of June 22 and had shown no signs of distress. His father said the student had later attended a birthday gathering that evening. A relative, whose son also lives in London, claimed that Srinath’s roommate found him dead the following morning, on June 23.
The roommate later informed friends that Srinath had allegedly died by suicide, the relative said. The family added that they learnt about the incident only through friends and acquaintances. The circumstances surrounding Srinath’s death have not been officially disclosed. UK authorities have not issued any public statement on the case, and the cause of death remains unconfirmed. Meanwhile, a GoFundMe page, reportedly created by Srinath’s cousins, has been launched to help raise funds for the expenses of bringing his mortal remains back to India. The family continues to await official communication from the authorities while urging the government to expedite the repatriation process.
