An Australian man has been found dead on a roadside in India, with injury marks on his body, Herald Sun reports.
59-year-old Michael James O’Toole’s body was found with an injury mark on his lower back on Sunday in Fateh Sagar Lake in Udaipur, Rajasthan, according to News Corp.
Mr O’Toole’s body was spotted by ambulance operators, who informed the police.
Assistant Sub-Inspector Ram Singh said Mr O’Toole’s clothes were found intact with his wallet and passport, “which rules out incident of theft”.
“The deceased has small injury mark on his lower back (near thigh) on the right side,” he said.
“Our initial investigation rules out any foul play, though the conclusion will be made after the autopsy.”
O’Toole’s autopsy was conducted on Tuesday night with his Melbourne-based sister's consent. The doctors are yet to submit their report to authorities.
Assistant Sub-Inspector Ram Singh told Herald Sun Mr O’Toole’s sister was heading to India for his last rites.
Police said Mr O’Toole arrived in Udaipur on June 6 and stayed in a number of places. Sub-inspector Singh said police are now tracking his past movements to determine where he stayed.
They have also circulated pictures of him in nearby resorts and hotels.
The investigation continues.
