Thiruvananthapuram: A former Kerala Ranji Trophy cricket player, K Jayamohan Thampi, was found dead at his home at Manacaud in Thiruvananthapuram. He was 64.
The body was found lying on the floor of the room on Monday morning.
The police moved the body to the Medical College Hospital and a post-mortem was conducted. The cremation was later held at the Saanthi Kavadam at Thycaud.
The police have filed a case of unnatural death. However, the police said that they did not find anything suspicious in the preliminary investigation and that they were waiting for the post-mortem report.
