The deceased, with his eyes, nose, and mouth bleeding, was discovered at his residence by an embassy employee who was sent to check on him after he failed to respond to the work call and was absent from work for two consecutive days, reported the Pakistani media.
The police were later told that Fielder was a heart patient, but the exact time and cause of his death remain uncertain.
