Death

Tiwari was found dead of asphyxiation at his Dwarka home on July 7, 2016, prompting speculation in various media by fans and paranormal enthusiasts that his death was caused by vengeful spirits,[3][4][1] however, following an autopsy, Delhi Police determined that Tiwari committed suicide by hanging himself inside his bathroom and that his death did not involve any foul play.[5] According to Surender Kumar, DCP (South-West), “It is a clear case of suicide. He hanged himself in the bathroom using his wife’s dupatta on Thursday night”. Police investigating his death said that Tiwari "had no major projects lined up for the future" and what projects he had "brought in little money, but it was barely enough". This led to frequent disagreements with his family, and according to police, "his family, in fact, wanted him to take up a conventional job".[6]
