An elderly US citizen, who was staying at a hotel for over three months, died here after he suddenly fell ill, police said today.
87-year old Edward Clinton, a retired US Army captain, came to the city on April 14 and was staying at a five-star hotel on Amber road, said Sub-inspector Shivjiram, the investigating officer.
He suddenly fell sick yesterday and was taken to a private hospital where he was declared dead on arrival, the officer said.
The body has been kept in mortuary and US embassy has been informed, he said. The post-mortem will be conducted only after the embassy sends a representative, he added.
