Sushant was reportedly suffering from bipolar disorder, a mental disease that overwhelms a patient in both sadness and ecstasy. The post-mortem report said the cause of his death was ‘asphyxia due to hanging’. In October 2020 a report was filed by Dr Sudhir Gupta, head of the forensic medical team tasked by CBI, that wrote off any possibility of murder and called the unfortunate incident a case of suicide.
“We are stuck in success and failure so much that we forgot to live life. If anything matters in life, it is life itself,” a dialogue from Sushant Singh Rajput’s character in ‘Chhichhore’ resurfaced on the internet when the news of his untimely death broke.
