A schoolteacher was found dead at his residence in Parshuram upazila of Feni district, prompting an investigation by local police. The deceased, identified as Nurul Karim (58), was discovered early Friday morning after neighbours, unable to get any response from him, alerted authorities.
The incident occurred in the village of DM Sahebnogor under Mirzanagar Union. According to local residents, Mr Karim had been living alone in his family home, while his immediate relatives resided in Feni town. He was employed as an assistant teacher at Rajashpur High School in Chhithalia Union and would occasionally stay at his village home due to professional commitments.
Neighbours reported that Mr Karim was last seen the previous night after going to bed as usual. When he failed to respond to repeated calls and knocks on the door the following morning, concerned locals informed Parshuram Model Police Station. Police arrived shortly afterwards and, after receiving no response from inside, forced entry into the house. His body was found lying on the bed.
Preliminary assessments by law enforcement suggest that he may have died in his sleep, possibly due to a sudden medical condition such as a stroke. However, authorities have stated that the exact cause of death will be confirmed following necessary legal and medical procedures, including post-mortem examination.
Police have confirmed that standard procedures have been completed, and the body has been taken for further examination. The incident has cast a shadow of grief over the local community and the educational institution where he served, with colleagues and students expressing shock at his sudden demise.
