Well, its been 10 days. The inquest would have probably taken a couple of days. Paperwork takes time. This happened to my uncle who died when visiting his younger son in MD. The older son just flew over, cremated his dad there and brought back the ashes. Much easier. The documentation needed to bring back a body is just time consuming not to mention bringing the body back in a casket, transporting it to the airport, checking it into the flight - can you imagine this being managed by remote from Mumbai? Not to mention that Hindus need to cremate quickly - so this is really much more sensible, cost effective and timely.

I do think this article should be added on the first page alongside the original article.

Its up to people to decide what they believe, but I think people should be presented with both sides of the story.

I've seen it happen time and time again. A celeb gets crucified for an event coz they choose to remain silent, so one side gets a lot of coverage. By the time the celeb comes out with their side of the story, the damage is done.

Not saying celebs are saints obviously, but they're not demons either as is often portrayed in most negative articles.

This said, I do agree that PC should have at least MENTIONED the dude in some tweet or interview or at least not been happily tweeting away as if nothing happened. He was her assistant for a while, the man traveled with her. Is his death so insignificant an incident that it didnt phase her in the least?
