The victim’s friend, who made the report, was quoted as telling police that the victim had repeatedly vomited, so he had taken his friend to the bathroom and helped him vomit before going back to sleep.

Police quoted a preliminary autopsy report from the National Forensic Service as saying there were no external injuries that could have caused the victim’s death. The police are still investigating.
