The causes of death are fascinating as well as challenging to determine. The present case involves the death mystery of a middle aged man inside the freezer. In the gated community, the man appears to be respected and liked by many alike. The preliminary investigation revealed that there was scheduled power outage during the time of death. The robbery alarm was alerted before police were on the scene.
The physical examination of the body revealed cyanosis, petechiae, and fluidity of the blood. The body was lying inside the freezer and no sign of use of any force or violence.
The cause of death appears to be Asphyxia. The Asphyxia is a condition arising when the body is deprived of oxygen causing unconsciousness or death. In this case the person went into the freezer and at the same time power was out. This stopped the freezer and also the air supply in the freezer. This might have caused his death due to suffocation.

However, more evidences are needed to confirm the cause of death and rule of murder angle.
