Later, according to some information the boy's father got had set off in search ultimately to find the boy's dead body inside a vehicle parked on a nearby road. The vehicle concerned belonged to the Disciplinary Master of Eastern University and he had having parked the vehicle had gone to attend to some task. Subsequently he had come back to get to his vehicle only at about 5 in the evening. On opening the door of the vehicle he had noted a small boy fallen close to the front seat and having got upset had informed the neighbourhood about it. At that point they had identified the boy as the boy who was missing. Though the child was admitted to hospital, even by that time he had passed away.

It was assumed that since he was confined for a number of hours inside the vehicle he may have become weak. He may have got into the car parked through curiosity; but as the doors of the vehicle had got locked, not being able to find a way of getting out. this tragedy has occured.   It was noted that he had strived to get out of the vehicle and in the process some parts at the front of the vehicle had been twisted and broken. It was Lafir Ishan, a student in grade 1 of Oluvil Al Jaisha College who had met with this tragedy.
