He immediately called an ambulance but was declared brought dead on the spot. Police arrived and cordoned off the hotel floor.
A spokesman for the Metropolitan Police said: “Police were called by the London Ambulance Service to reports of a man found dead at a hotel on Broadway in Southall at around 11:15 UK time on 14 May. Death is suspected. Not being considered. A file will be prepared for the coroner.”
According to Kumar’s cousin Neeraj Choudhary, who hails from Jammu but currently resides in Gurgaon, Kumar was unwell in recent times and often switched off his mobile. Whenever he could not talk on his phone, his family called at the hotel reception. This way employees in Jammu had their number and were able to call them in India on Saturday as soon as the tragedy struck.
Kumar holds a Portuguese passport as he moved to Portugal around 2012 to find work and send money home for his family. In 2020 he moved to the UK on a Portuguese passport in search of more earnings and worked with a wholesale distributor of Asian food in Southall. He then lost that job due to COVID-19 and fell ill so went back to India and back and forth, most recently returning to London in April 2022.
He took a room and was looking for a job, but then around 7 May he fell ill and his family asked him to return to India, so he left the room he was renting and stayed until he could fly. Took the hotel room until he didn’t feel enough to fill up.
“His illness was a kind of skin reaction and he had blisters on his body along with fever. Sometimes it made him so sick that he had to stay in bed. He had seen a doctor in India, but as far as we know, did not see one in London, although we requested him. We are yet to get any information from the police or the coroner about the cause of his death. I think the process in the UK is that they don’t disclose any information until the investigation is complete. They have assured us that they will not stop bringing back the dead body and will take samples.
“We thought could it be suicide? Could it be a heart attack, could it be foul play, could it be healthy? But we never thought it was a disease because no doctor said that. It’s deadly – we’re sure it wasn’t. Maybe he had a heart attack or he could have slipped. But then why was he found next to the door, not in the bathroom? It’s hard to imagine that it was a heart attack. The seizure was because he was a healthy person and he never came out as a suicidal person.
Kumar is survived by his wife Shivani and three-year-old daughter. KiaraIn the Badiyal Brahmin of Jammu. His wife is expecting their second child.
“She is completely devastated and has not eaten for two days,” Choudhary said.
“He was a very funny kind of boy and a very loving father to his child. He had left his homeland and parents and wife just to earn money, so he was a very responsible person. I have no words to describe what kind of condition they are in.
“I would like to request the UK authorities that we have lost our child in the UK and please help us get his body back to India.”
He said the family had no idea about the process of getting the body from England. “We are looking for someone who can help us arrange funds for the funeral director and other formalities so that his body can be brought back from the UK,” he said, adding that he had to take five to six months. Need to find Rs. “We have requested the Indian High Commission if they can help us get back to India and we are waiting for their response. He is an OCI card holder so there could be complications.”
“At first we didn’t even know where his body was or in which coroner his body was or which police department was handling it. We didn’t know anything. We sent friends to Southhall Police Department and from there we got the case ID and from there we came to know where his body had been taken.
On May 17, Union Minister Dr Jitendra Singh tweeted: “I have immediately taken up the matter with the Indian Embassy in London. I am in constant touch with the Indian High Commissioner in London, Mrs Gayatri ji, who is personally ensuring that the process of return of the bodies is expedited.”
