Investigators do not suspect any foul play.

Watson, a UG student, had been residing alone in the upper flat of a two-storey apartment building for the past five years.

According to a female friend, Watson had been experiencing flu symptoms, including headaches and vomiting, and was last seen alive on June 25, 2024.

The police were called to the scene, where they processed and photographed the area. The body was examined for marks of violence, but none were found. Authorities have stated that no foul play is suspected in Watson’s death.
