Multiple centenary accounts describe the death as occurring in circumstances never satisfactorily explained. Master Tara Singh, who shared his cell in the final months, is reported never to have fully accepted the official account. No autopsy or independent medical record has surfaced. This archive states the official cause, records that it has been questioned, and asserts nothing further.
This is the exact wording approved for public display. It is never strengthened beyond what the tier — Partially supported — published only with attribution — permits.
