Indian Paranormal Society founder Gaurav Tiwari (pictured above) was found dead under mysterious circumstances in the bathroom of his apartment in Delhi's Dwarka neighbourhood on Thursday, reported The Times of India. Investigators suspect that the 32-year-old committed suicide, though they haven't confirmed anything so far. Tiwari family, however, holds that he was "perfectly normal" and they don't believe that he killed himself. The autopsy report is awaited.
Tiwari had visited more than 6,000 haunted locations and investigated hauntings, UFO abductions and mysterious creatures, read his company's website. A pilot by training, he got married five months ago. “He told his wife a month ago that a negative force was pulling him towards it. He had said he was trying to control it but seemed unable to do so. My daughter-in-law ignored it thinking he was just depressed because of work pressures and did not tell us about it,“ his father told the English daily. Investigators said there was a black line around his neck when they found him and the cause of death seems to be asphyxiation.
