Monrovia, Liberia – In light of concerns over whether Anwar Futloo, the general manager of the Boulevard Palace Hotel, committed suicide or was the victim of malicious behavior, the Liberia National Police (LNP) has opened an inquiry into his unexplained death.
Inspector General Gregory Coleman told reporters at the police headquarters at a news conference that although initial evidence points to suicide, the case is still being investigated. IG Coleman claimed that on December 31, Mr. Futoo proceeded to a Humanitarian Home on 9th Street, where he allegedly used the restroom and swallowed a cleaning agent.

As the inquiry progresses, more information will be revealed, as persons of interest have been located and are being looked into, the police chief stated.
