On June 8, following complaints by her neighbours of a foul smell coming from her flat, the Oshiwara police reached the spot, broke open the door and found her body in a decomposed state. There was a table and rope at the scene. Prima facie, the reason for the suicide was that she suffered from depression and was on medication, police said. Noor may have taken the drastic step on June 4, police said. Her body was sent to Siddharth Hospital in Goregaon west.

Senior Police Inspector Mohan Patil, Oshiwara police station, said, “We did not find any letter, but we found medicines, which doctors confirmed were for depression.
