The police don’t suspect any foul play.

On Wednesday, Indumati Subramaniam’s (40) body was found floating in the pool at the ITC Grand Maratha at 7 pm, confirmed Amitabh Gupta, additional commissioner of police (west region). “No foul play that is suspected. An accidental death report has been registered,” Gupta said.

Subramaniam was visiting Mumbai with a 10-member team from the Chennai branch, said S.N. Choudhary, deputy commissioner of police (zone VIII).

She was only person from her team to have booked into the Grand Maratha for three days.

According to hotel staff at the lobby, the two lifeguards had warned Subramaniam from using the pool as it was raining heavily, but she still insisted on going for a swim.

“At 7 pm, a foreigner, who is one of the guests, saw her body in the pool and he informed the staff. The police was informed by 7.30 pm,” Choudhary said.
