Canadian Man Found Lifeless in Luxury Lagos Hotel Room

The Lagos State Police Command has commenced a thorough investigation into the perplexing death of a Canadian citizen, identified only as Sullivan, whose body was discovered in his Victoria Island hotel room.

Dependable NG reports that the deceased, whose full identity is being withheld pending full consular notification, was found unresponsive just five days after he checked into the upscale establishment on October 2. The tragic incident unfolded in the early hours of October 7, sending ripples of concern through the city’s hospitality sector.

According to a detailed account provided by an anonymous hotel attendant, staff became concerned after repeated attempts to contact the guest went unanswered. This prompted a welfare check, during which Sullivan was discovered lying motionless on the floor of his room. The hotel’s management immediately escalated the matter, with the Chief Security Officer formally notifying the Victoria Island Police Division at approximately 4:30 pm.

Police detectives swiftly descended upon the scene to secure the area and conduct a preliminary examination. Dependable NG reports that a reliable police source confirmed that their initial assessment of the scene and the victim’s body revealed no immediate evidence of a struggle or visible marks of violence. This finding suggests that, while the death remains under intense scrutiny, foul play is not the immediate focus of the investigation.

Following the on-site procedures, the remains were carefully transported to the Lagos Island General Hospital, Marina. There, a medical officer officially pronounced Sullivan dead. His body has since been securely deposited in the hospital’s morgue, where it awaits an extensive autopsy. This crucial procedure is expected to provide definitive clarity on the precise circumstances and cause of death, which remains unknown.

The Lagos State Police Command has assured the public that while initial forensic observations do not point towards homicide, all possibilities are being rigorously explored. The full-scale investigation aims to meticulously piece together the events leading up to the Canadian national’s sudden demise in the bustling commercial heart of Nigeria.
