Renowned Indian musician Zubeen Garg tragically drowned off Lazarus Island, Singapore, after refusing a life jacket at a yacht party on September 19, 2025. The singer's intoxication impaired his ability to swim back to the vessel.

The inquiry into Garg's death, set to hear from 35 witnesses, highlighted his previous medical conditions, including hypertension and epilepsy. Despite carrying medication, it remains unclear if Garg took his epilepsy drugs on the fateful day.
