Sunanda Pushkar Tharoor died 'unnatural death' following revelations of husband's 'affair'
2014-01-19
Doctors have said that the wife of a senior Indian minister died an "unnatural, sudden death" after revelations about her husband's alleged affair.

Sunanda Pushkar Tharoor, 52, was found dead on Friday in a luxury hotel in Delhi. She had used Twitter to allege that her husband, Shashi Tharoor, had had an affair with a Pakistani journalist.

One of the doctors who carried out the autopsy said that "more tests" are needed to determine the final cause of Mrs Tharoor's death, and the results will not be known for two to three days.

Mrs Tharoor's death shocked India's political establishment, which had been captivated by the public row over her husband Shashi Tharoor's relationship with Pakistani journalist Mehr Tarar only hours earlier.

Mr Tharoor himself was taken to the hospital late on Friday suffering from palpitations and chest pains, a few hours after discovering his wife dead in their suite at the Leela Hotel. He was later discharged.
