# Bengaluru woman’s skeleton found a year after death, daughter hadn’t visited 2026-08-07T21:00:58+00:00 | India | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet The skeletal remains of 52-year-old Dakshayini were found in her locked duplex home in Bengaluru's Bagalagunte area, nearly a year after her death. Police forced entry during a welfare check and discovered her body. NDTV reports that her husband died ten years ago, and her son died of cancer, leaving her battling depression. Dakshayini's daughter and son-in-law had not visited the house in the past year, so the death went unnoticed. Bengaluru police have launched an investigation to determine the exact cause of death. ## Coverage - ndtv.com - livemint.com Tags: Bengaluru, police investigation, single woman death, urban isolation Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/bengaluru-womans-skeleton-found-a-year-after-death/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
