Singapore| The Singapore Police Force (SPF) has released an official update regarding the death of Indian singer and composer Zubeen Garg, clarifying that early findings do not point to any foul play.
Responding to growing speculation and misinformation circulating online, the SPF confirmed that the case is being handled under the Coroners Act of 2010, and while the investigation remains ongoing, no signs of suspicious or criminal activity have been detected thus far.
Zubeen Garg, aged 52 and a prominent figure from Assam, passed away on September 19, 2025, during a private yacht outing in Singapore. He had travelled to the city-state to perform at the Northeast India Festival. Reports indicate he was pulled from the water unconscious and later pronounced dead at Singapore General Hospital.
His unexpected passing sparked widespread grief and concern in India, especially in Assam, where his fan base is extensive. The suddenness of his death also led to multiple police reports and widespread public discussion, prompting official clarification from Singaporean authorities.
According to the SPF, the full investigation could take up to three more months. Upon completion, the findings will be submitted to the State Coroner, who will then decide whether a coroner’s inquiry is necessary. Such an inquiry would formally establish the cause and circumstances of death, and the results would be made available to the public.
