Police to investigate death of a U.S. pilot
Police have launched an investigation into the death of a U.S. Air Force pilot whose body was discovered from a hotel room in the capital Colombo last week. Police Media Spokesperson ASP Ruwan Gunasekara told Xinhua that the victim's body was discovered on Thursday night from a room of a five star hotel where he had checked in a day earlier. The hotel employees had grown suspicious when several calls to the victim's room went unanswered and contacted the police. According to a local media report the deceased has checked into the hotel after bringing a group of American tourists to the country. It is not yet known whether the victim died of natural causes. "We are conducting further investigations into his death. Right now the Judicial Medical Officer (JMO) is conducting a post mortem and once this is completed we will have more details," ASP Gunasekara said ( Xinhua)
