When she did not come out of the room and did not respond to the banging, some of her colleagues broke down the door of the room which was locked from inside and she was found lying dead on the floor of the room just near her bed.
Broken pieces of a beer bottle as well as a bottle of Royal Challenge whisky and some cigarettes were also found lying around near her body apart from the case of her laptop, mobile phone handset and some cash scattered over the bed.
