A woman lawyer, who was on bail in a narcotic case, was found dead at her residence in this coastal district of Kerala on Tuesday, the police said.
The deceased was identified as Sathyamol, a 46-year-old native of Ambalappuzha.
The police said she and her son had earlier been arrested in a narcotic case and were released from the prison on bail recently.
Her son, who was a co-accused in the case, found her dead on the terrace of their house.
"We can ascertain the exact cause of the death after receiving the post-mortem report," a police officer said.
The deceased and her son had been held by excise and police personnel following the recovery of banned drugs from their vehicle and residence last year.
A case has been registered following her death, and an investigation is underway into all aspects of the incident, police added. -- PTI
