An Indian student studying at the University of Calgary has been found dead. The Consulate General of India in Vancouver has confirmed that the deceased is Tanya Tyagi, a native of Delhi. The consulate said in a note shared on social media Xil that it expresses its condolences over the unexpected death. The consulate also stated that it will provide all necessary assistance to the family for the arrangements, including repatriation of Tanya's body. The cause of death is not clear. Meanwhile, a note that appeared on Xil said that she died of a heart attack.
The increasing number of mysterious and unexplained deaths of Indian students abroad is raising concerns. Last month, Vanshika Saini, a student and daughter of an Aam Aadmi Party leader, was found dead near a beach in Ottawa. Authorities have not been able to determine what happened behind her death.
