A 49-year-old woman was found dead in her Mulund colony residence on Saturday. Identified as Archana Punjabi, the deceased was a computer teacher at Sadhana Vidyalaya in Sion and lived alone after her husband's death in 2014.
According to the police, her&nbsp;neighbour&nbsp;saw newspapers lying outside her flat on Saturday and knocked on the door to Punjabi's house. As there was no response, the&nbsp;neighbour&nbsp;called the deceased but the phone wasn't answered either.

"The&nbsp;neighbour&nbsp;could hear the phone ringing inside the house. That's when the&nbsp;neighbour&nbsp;thought something was amiss and called the local police and fire brigade officials," police said.
The fire brigade personnel broke down Punjabi's door and found her in the flat. She was immediately rushed to a nearby hospital where she was declared dead before admission. The Mulund police have registered an Accidental Death Report (ADR) in the case and the body has been sent for post-mortem analysis. The doctor has said that preliminary examination points to a heart attack as being the reason for Punjabi's death. She had been suffering from high blood pressure for close to a decade.
