The Gaonkar report ends here. On the 7th November the body of Fr. Bismarck Dias was found floating in the St. Estevam river. Which was later sent to GMC for the post mortem and the reason of the death was declared as asphyxia (asphyxia is the condition in which the body is deprived of oxygen, causing unconsciousness or death).

The supporters and relatives are not ready to accept the police report of a death due to drowning and want the case to be handed over the crime branch. Looking at the present scenario, it seems to be a difficult task as the police have already submitted the closure report in the case. According to you what would be the reason behind the death of Fr. Bismarck? Is that Drowning or something else? Can the report of police challenge? If Dias was murdered then who did it and how? These are some of the major questions which need to be answered to find out the truth behind the demise of Fr. Bismarck Dias. Please do leave your valuable comments and suggestions on this issue.
