Thirty one year old Arjun Poudel was found dead in the bathroom of his apartment by his roommate Ganesh Shrestha on June 11, in New York. He was an employee at a gas station in Kingston.

The reason behind his death is not known as yet. Shrestha returned home on June 11, after work and found Poudel lying unconscious on the bathroom floor. He called up the owner of the gas station, who in turn called the police and took him to the hospital. Police are waiting for the postmortem report.

His wife Laxmi Poudel is currently residing in Nepal. "Even though he was there for the last three years, unfortunately, he did not make an effort to take his wife there," informed his relative Bimal Poudel.

It has been learned that his wife through a text message had urged him to return back to Nepal, but he did not reply to the message.
