North Goa SP Shobit Saxena said,”post-mortem examination shows that this is not a case of sexual assault or any violence of that sort. The cause of dead is due to drowning. In such case where we find dead bodies we register a case of unnatural death and during inquiry, other aspects are looked into to ascertain that there is no foul play. Prima facie we have ruled out any possibility of sexual assault or violence based on the post-mortem report”.
