WASHINGTON, DC: Family members of an Indian American woman who was found dead and floating in the San Francisco Bay refused to accept the court’s ruling that her death was deemed a suicide and have hired a private investigator to the root out what what they hope is an alternate narrative.
However, to the implicit chagrin of the family, the investigator has yet to uncover any additional details.
Kalbir Kaur Dhillon, 44, had reportedly been arguing with her husband on the night of January 17 when she abruptly drove off in her car, according to the Daily Mail. Two days later, she was found floating in the bay water on the east end of Anza Boulevard, next to Robert E. Woolley State Park and an Embassy Suites hotel.
More than two months later, the San Mateo County Coroner’s Office said that Dhillon committed suicide by drowning and authorities have maintained they found no evidence of foul play, reported the Marin Independent Journal.
Police told Marin that they welcome any help with the investigation.
“If the private eye uncovers any information different from ours, we would obviously take a look at it,” Boll said. “We wish the best for the family, and we want to give them closure. It’s a tough thing to lose a loved one.”
Dhillon, who was of Indian origin, was born in Leicester, England, but grew up in California. The Macy’s project manager had two children from her first marriage, and after she was widowed by car accident in 1996, she married again, to Bobby Dhillon, who had two children of his own.
Before the remarriage, in 2012, she had been a single mother for 16 years, revealed the Daily Mail. Family members spoke of how she made sacrifices for her two daughters, who are now both college students.
The Daily Mail also disclosed Fremont Police Department officers reportedly first told the family that Dhillon had only died very shortly before being found, based on forensic evidence. However, they later decided she could in fact have been deceased much longer, raising suspicions.
