Singer Garg was drunk, had declined life jacket: Coroner’s court told...

Key Highlights

• At the time, Garg was also severely intoxicated and several witnesses saw him trying to swim back to the yacht when he went limp and began floating with his face in the water, the Channel said quoting the officer.
• Garg was promptly rescued back to the yacht and cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) was administered to him, but he was pronounced dead later that same day.
• The singer had a medical history of hypertension and epilepsy, with his last known epileptic episode in 2024, the court was told.
• However, it is unclear if he had taken his regular medicine for epilepsy on the day of the incident, with the evidence of eyewitnesses insufficient to establish that he had actually taken it, it was added.
• The Singapore police do not suspect any foul play in his death, according to the Channel report.
