A 30-year-old nurse was found dead inside a locked toilet at a Kolkata hospital. Staff alerted police after the toilet door stayed shut for an unusually long time and there was no response to repeated calls. Police broke the door open and recovered her body, which has been sent for a post-mortem. NDTV reports that the cause of death is yet to be determined. An investigation is underway.
This incident will likely stoke the usual cries of police apathy and hospital negligence. But the knee-jerk blame game ignores that the staff did call the police when they sensed trouble. The real test is whether the post-mortem can establish if it was a natural death, suicide, or foul play. And whether the hospital will now ensure that every toilet door can be forced open in an emergency.
