HYDERABAD: A 38-year-old US national was found dead under suspicious circumstances in his hotel room here, police said on Sunday.

David Blaque, who hailed from Crawford in the US, was here to audit the accounts of a city-based MNC firm.

He checked in at the hotel on November 3, Raidurgam police said after preliminary investigations.

“The hotel authorities last night tried David Blaque on his room phone number but in vain, after which they alerted the police, who after opening the room door found him dead,” a senior police officer said.

No injuries were visible on his body which was sent to Osmania General Hospital (OGH) today for an autopsy.

The autopsy report said David “suffered” a cardiac arrest, the police officer said, adding that the US consulate here has been informed of the incident.

Raidurgam police have booked a case of suspicious death and further investigations were on.
