British BCCI engineer found dead in Mumbai hotel; police register ADR and begin investigation.
A British national working as a broadcast engineer for the Board of Control for Cricket in India during the ongoing Indian Premier League was found dead in his hotel room in south Mumbai, police officials said on Tuesday.
The deceased has been identified as Ian Williams Langford, who had been staying at the Trident Hotel since March 24 for IPL broadcast-related work. According to initial information, Langford had returned to his room on March 29 after completing his professional duties for the day.
Hotel staff reportedly became concerned on March 30 after repeated calls to his room went unanswered. When there was no response, staff members entered the room using a master key and found him lying on the floor. The hotel’s in-house doctor was immediately called to the scene and declared him dead.
