The London Paralympics Committee has warned that it would perform the last rites of a Nepali official who died during the 2012 London Games if it does not hear from the man’s kin by Tuesday.
Man Bahadur Lopchan, 45, allegedly committed suicide on 10 September by hanging himself in London. He was rushed to hospital, where he failed to respond to treatment, Xinhua reported.
Issuing a letter to the Nepali foreign ministry on Thursday, the London committee said it would be compelled to perform the final rites of Lopchan as the Nepali side has failed to provide information regarding the victim’s kin to receive the body upon its arrival at a Nepali airport.
Since then, the body is being preserved at a London agency for the last 23 days as Lopchan’s family are adamant that they would not receive the body unless the authorities probe into the ‘mysterious’ death and book the guilty.
