Police believe it was a tragic accident. Power cuts are a regular problem in this area at night. They suspect that Lambodharan, who reportedly had some memory issues, might have lit a candle during a power outage and placed it under his bed. This likely caused the fire. His stomach area and the bed were partially burnt.
Police have ruled out any foul play in his death. Lambodharan had been living alone for the past five years after his wife passed away. Neighbours said that his married daughter would visit him from time to time.
After a post-mortem at Vandanam Medical College Hospital, his body was cremated in the compound of his house.
