Bollywood actor Sushant Singh Rajput was found hanging at his Bandra residence on Sunday (June 14, 2020). A PTI report stated that no suicide note was found, and an investigation is being conducted. "He died by suicide at his residence in Bandra. Our team is there," Manoj Sharma, Additional Commissioner of Police, Western Region, told PTI.

Now, according to a report in Hindustan Times, the actor's team has issued a statement that reads, "It pains us to share that Sushant Singh Rajput is no longer with us. We request his fans to keep him in their thoughts and celebrate his life, and his work like they have done so far. We request media to help us maintain privacy at this moment of grief."

It is also being reported that Sushant last spoke to his sister, and actor Mahesh Shetty. The police will take their statements.

Meanwhile, a few media outlets reported that the Chhichhore actor was suffering from clinical depression, and that might be the reason why he chose to take such a drastic step.
