Autopsy completed, funeral held following resort death

The funeral has been held after Fajr prayers this morning for the youth found deceased in a resort. 

The funeral was held after his body was brought back to Maldives after an autopsy was conducted to determine cause of death. 

The deceased, who was found dead in a resort in Baa atoll, has been identified as Adheel Ahmed, 21, of Than'diraiymaage, K. Guraidhoo. 

His death was reported to Police on August 23. Police then sent his body to India to conduct a post mortem to determine cause of death. 

Police Spokesperson, Assistant Commissioner of Police Ahmed Shifan said that Adheel's body had been handed over to family yesterday after the post mortem had been completed. However, he did not provide a reason why the post mortem had been conducted despite the family's objection. 

Police are yet to comment whether they believe there are suspicious circumstances surrounding Adheel's death.
