The Crime OIC of the Kollupitiya Police Station died suddenly today while exercising at Galle Face Green.

Sources close to him said he did not show any sign of illness before his death.

It is not yet established whether his death was caused by COVID19 or any other medical condition. However, the OIC had been involved in many COVID10-related responsibilities before his sudden death. The police officer was 42 years old at the time of his demise.

"It has become a general habit in our society to attribute every sudden death to COVID19. This is not acceptable nor is it realistic. We don't know whether the deceased officer had any other long-term health issues such as heart ailments. So, we can only comment on this matter following a proper inquiry," a senior Police officer told Asian Mirror.

His body has been taken to the Colombo National Hospital for further investigations.
