THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: The postmortem report of actor Dilip Shankar is out. The report says his death is due to internal bleeding. It is concluded that this could be due to the bleeding following liver disease or the contusion after falling down. The police said the exact cause will be known only after getting the results of the chemical test.


The preliminary conclusion of the police is that the death of Dilip Shankar is not a suicide. The police had clarified that they did not find any evidence leading to suicide in the search conducted in his room. The police also suspect that Dileep may have hit his head in the room. The internal organs have been sent for scientific examination. A search in the room found liquor bottles and medicine for liver disease.


Dilip Shankar (50) of Cheranalloor South Chittor was found dead in his hotel room near Vanross Junction in Thiruvananthapuram last afternoon. The Cantonment Police had earlier informed that no signs of unnatural death were found in the room and the cause of death will be known only after getting the post-mortem report.


Dilip Shankar has acted in films like Chappa Kurishu, North 24 Katham and several serials. Dileep arrived in Thiruvananthapuram for a serial shooting and booked a hotel room four days ago. There was no shooting for two days in between. Dileep did not pick up the phone despite several calls from the crew of the serial to inform about the resumption of shooting. Meanwhile, the hotel authorities informed the police after a foul smell emanated from his room. He was found lying dead when the police arrived and opened it.
