This article has been mentioned by a media organization:

Stephen Harrison (9 October 2020). "The Wikipedia Battle Over the Tragic Death of a Bollywood Star". Slate. Archived from the original on 9 October 2020. Retrieved 9 October 2020. Since mid-June, SSR's biographical Wikipedia page and the separate article about his death have become a widely trafficked internet battleground.

Investigation section

The investigation was too long, I have added subsections with headers that I believe best represented the content in the para. Please discuss below if there are suggestions to improve subsection or add more subsections. See MOS:PARA Venkat TL (talk) 17:47, 12 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Sushant's "former manager" Disha Salian

We've reported this as fact in the article, but it seems it may not be the case per multiple people close to the case:

Salian's parents "made it clear that Disha was not the manager of the late actor whom she met only once for some costume trials" source

"In an interaction with Republic TV, Vikas Singh [the lawyer of Sushant Singh Rajput's family] revealed that Disha Salian was not Sushant's manager" source

Salian's fiancé Rohan Rai says: "She never managed him directly but had worked on two of his ad films at the behest of her colleagues" source

Given all that, it seems we should reword the relevant sections. Thoughts? Valenciano (talk) 10:50, 23 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Republic TV is deprecated and TOI is dodgy as a source. That said, I agree the claim should be removed barring a good source that claims that Disha was SSR's manager. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v ^{a little blue Bori} 19:29, 23 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Apologies, wasn't aware about the depreciated sources, but the claim in any case looks dubious. Valenciano (talk) 19:37, 23 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The cause of death is not suicide from hanging but rather Murder as revealed by Autopsy. This news is trending so reliable source can be found everywhere. Also edit the main page of the actor. Thanking you. 102.114.38.170 (talk) 18:46, 26 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Not done: please provide reliable sources that support the change you want to be made. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 02:46, 27 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The autopsy finding hasn't changed. It still officially says that it's suicide. 1 mortuary worker, who isn't a doctor, made claims to the press, but it's highly suspicious that he only "remembered" this information now with elections in India coming up. Either way, no changes to the article needed. Valenciano (talk) 11:36, 27 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
