A top executive of Japan’s Olympus Corp was found hanged outside his apartment in Gurgaon in a likely suicide, police said on Tuesday.

Tsutomu Omori (49), head of the company’s medical equipment business in India, appeared to have killed himself late Sunday, Lal Singh, investigating officer of Gurgaon Police said.

There was no immediate suggestion his death was linked to a $1.7-billion fraud that had rocked corporate Japan and led to the arrest of senior executives in Tokyo.
