Hospital. The doctors there were, however, unable to zero in on the cause of the death.
The doctors then sent the deceased's viscera to the Forensic Science Laboratory, Kalina, and the chemical analysis reports from there are yet to arrive.
Elaborating on Naik's past, Inspector V Sardar of Vile Parle police station said, "A bottle of alcohol was found near Naik's body. He drank a lot on the night he died.
His family later told us that he was addicted to alcohol. He had even been admitted to the Lilavati Hospital once because of his drinking. He had been advised to give up alcohol, but he did not. On the night he died, he had called his wife to inform her that he was too drunk to come home."
Sardar added that Naik's wife and other family members had mentioned that he got addicted to alcohol during his stay in the UK while he was studying.
Police sources said some members of Naik's family, who are doctors, attribute his death to a massive heart attack. But the authorities are unwilling to take any chances and will proceed only when they receive the final forensic reports.
