Hyderabad: A day after the body of Kims ENT surgeon Dr K. Raghavendra Rao was found dead in his car, the police is unsure about the cause of his death.

Forensic doctors who conducted the postmortem on Dr Rao’s body said that his heart and liver were bloated, indicating that he had died of a heart attack or poisoning.

Viscera samples have been sent to the Andhra Pradesh Forensic Science Laboratory for examination.
