Sushant Singh Rajput's viscera test has turned out negative for any suspicious chemicals or toxins. Following the initial post-mortem, the samples were collected on June 14 and was sent for chemical analysis to JJ Hospital in Mumbai. Mumbai Police had earlier this week issued a statement about the actor's final histopathology analyses and ruled out any foul play or suspicions of a possible murder in his death. 

The talented actor's final post-mortem report, which was released last week, confirmed his cause of death as asphyxia due to hanging. The reports also ruled out any signs of a struggle and revealed that nothing was found from under his nails either. A few days back, Abhishek Trimukhe, the Deputy Commissioner of Mumbai Police had released a statement in which he revealed that the investigation into Sushant's suicide is currently underway and that the police have so far questioned close to 30 people and have recorded their statement.
