Fishy! Visit to a night club and got breathing difficulties. This points to a drug. Raid the club and the regulars.

Investigate the club in Kollupitiya and shut it down... check if they drugged these individuals to rob them or exploit them in any way.

Time to re-think development strategies imported from other countries. If we continue like this we will have an atmosphere that is worst than in Mumbai.

Why mysterious death of Ruggerites in Sri Lanka.What happened to Thajudeen's case? three years finished files are under carpet because of VIP culprits
Sujeewa Monday, 14 May 2018 08:14 PM
You are absolutely correct and another typical Sri Lankan. Put the blame to Rajapaksa Family. In trying to demolish ONE FAMILY, we still have not learnt a lesson.
Haramanis Monday, 14 May 2018 09:37 PM
But Sujeewa, that is the ONE family that brought us all to this mess.
Srilankan Monday, 14 May 2018 01:40 PM
Seems tragic sad news. Drinks coupled with drugs and energy drinks can cause such sudden deaths. Please check all possible options

May be "adhika wegayen dawanaya kireema nisa" like in many police cases
Jil Jil Monday, 14 May 2018 05:47 PM
Police needs to pull out CCTV footage's of the said club , and find out who they were with
Hemantha Monday, 14 May 2018 05:49 PM
Blame is on individual who lost his life. Why only he died while rest of the others survived? Something wrong with his fitness. No any criticism over the night club or this little island plz....
Jehan Monday, 14 May 2018 06:05 PM
Luckily Rajapakshes are in the opposition. Otherwise we know the stories that would go around.
Sara Monday, 14 May 2018 06:08 PM
Ask John Bass what treatment to give these guys in such conditions.
