When they knocked on his door and no one answered, they informed the police.

Baldirai station house officer (SHO) Dheeraj Kumar said police broke open the door but found that Yadav was not in his room.

A search led them to the bathroom, where Yadav was found lying dead.

Police have sent the body for autopsy after informing Yadav's family members who live in Lucknow, the SHO said.

While prima facie it appears that Yadav suffered a cardiac arrest, the exact cause of death will be ascertained once the autopsy report is received.
