A person was found dead late at night in an apartment on Melikishvili Street in Batumi, according to Ajara Times. Emergency crews responded to the scene, and the body has been moved to the forensic medical examination bureau.
At this stage it is not known whether the deceased showed signs of violence.
Investigation under way
Georgia’s Ministry of Internal Affairs said the incident is being examined under article 115 of the Criminal Code, which covers driving a person to suicide. That legal framing means investigators are treating the death as a potential criminal matter rather than a routine non-suspicious case.
Officers typically gather statements from people connected to the apartment, review communications and circumstances around the death, and wait for forensic conclusions before deciding how the case proceeds.
What comes next
The forensic bureau will assess the cause and manner of death. Until those findings and further police updates are released, the identity of the deceased and fuller circumstances have not been publicly confirmed in the reporting cited here.
Batumi residents on Melikishvili Street and nearby blocks may notice continued police activity while the probe continues. Georgia Times will update if official sources provide new details.
