Nun died due to drowning: Post-mortem
Thiruvananthapuram, Sep 10: The post-mortem report of a nun whose body was found inside a well at a convent near Kollam has identified the cause of death as drowning.
However, her abdomen showed presence of naphthalene balls, besides both her wrists were found to be slashed.
On Sunday around 9 a.m. the body was identified as that of 54-year-old Susan Mathew, a nun who taught at the St. Stephens School in Pathanapuram, about 80 km from the state capital.
The body was later moved to the state capital for post-mortem.
Workers at the Mount Tabor Convent first found blood stains near the well and then saw the body floating inside the well.
Susan had been teaching in the school for 12 years.
Both the school and the convent are run by the Kottayam-headquartered Malankara Syrian Orthodox Church.
Meanwhile, the police are going ahead with their probe and have registered it as a case of unnatural death. They have taken statements from a few convent employees.
The convent authorities have reportedly informed the police that of late, Susan was not keeping the best of health and was worried about it, and that they have concluded it to be a suicide case.

Lungi Ngidi fit to play against CSK
New Delhi (PTI): Delhi Capitals bowling coach Munaf Patel on Monday said Lungi Ngidi is set to return to action after recovering from the head injury he suffered in a home game against Punjab Kings on April 25.
Ngidi was stretchered off the field and rushed to a hospital after falling on his head while attempting a catch. The injury led to the South African pacer missing two games.
"Everyone is fit. Lungi is fit. He didn't play two games because of the criterion of six days' rest," said Munaf ahead of the game against Chennai Super Kings.
The bowling attack will be bolstered with the return of Ngidi. Mitchell Starc has also joined the team and made an instant impact in his first appearance of the season against Rajasthan Royals.
Against Punjab Kings, Delhi Capitals were not able to defend 264 conceding a record run chase.
Starc's presence is bound to make a difference, said Munaf.
"When there is a wicket-taking bowler in the PowerPlay, the whole scenario changes. 220 or 230 is being chased because you are not able to take wickets in the PowerPlay.
"When the main bowler is there and takes a few wickets in the PowerPlay, it makes a big difference. Bowling in partnerships was missing, but that has been added now," said Munaf.
On David Miller missing out from the playing eleven in the last game, Munaf added: "You can only fit in four foreigners in the XI. Sahil was injured, so we needed an opener and we thought of giving Pathum another chance. We had to play two overseas fast bowlers. So only one between Pathum and Miller could play. We went with Pathum because an opener was required."
