A 21-year-old engineering graduate was found dead at a farm in Edulabad near Ghatkesar on Sunday morning after attending a birthday party with 10 friends. His cause of death has not yet been determined, pending autopsy and toxicology reports.

Late C Krishna Koundinya, a resident of Uppal Bhagayat, went to Livven Farm on Saturday evening for a friend’s birthday party. According to an officer from the Ghatkesar police, a group of 11 reached the farm on Saturday around 6.30 pm.

“Krishna was found unconscious in bed the next morning, with no visible bleeding injuries. His friends tried cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) but could not revive him. He was taken to Ghatkesar Government Hospital where doctors declared him dead on arrival,” the officer said.
