Sohana A Khan, Singapore: Famous Assamese singer Zubeen Garg’s sudden death in Singapore last year wasn’t murder – it was a tragic accident fueled by heavy drinking and skipping safety rules, a court heard on January 14, 2026. Police say the 52-year-old star took off his life jacket and refused another before jumping into the sea during a yacht party, leading to his drowning off Lazarus Island. This bombshell clears up wild rumors of foul play that buzzed for months. The story’s exploding on social media with X users sharing shock and tributes. For example, @TimesNow posted a video update on the court hearing, racking up thousands of views as fans react to the “intoxicated” detail. If you’re a fan or followed the mystery, this fresh report flips the script on what really happened that fateful September night in 2025.

In stunning testimony at Singapore State Coroner’s inquiry, police revealed Zubeen Garg was heavily drunk during fatal yacht swim off Lazarus Island. First wore life jacket but removed it; refused smaller second one despite warnings. Found face-down motionless; pronounced dead hospital despite CPR. SPF: “No foul play suspected” – contradicts Assam SIT charges against festival organizer Shyamkanu Mahanta, manager Siddhartha Sharma, 2 bandmates.

Details & Context

Zubeen Garg, a beloved voice from Northeast India, died on September 19, 2025, just a day before rocking a big festival in Singapore. He was there for the North East India Festival, chilling on a yacht with about 20 pals when things went wrong. After partying with gin, whisky and beer, he swam once with a too-big life jacket, came back tired, then ditched it for a second dip without any safety gear. He aimed for Lazarus Island but struggled, floated face down and despite quick CPR from friends and coast guard, he didn’t make it.

The Singapore coroner’s court kicked off its probe on Jan 14, 2026 with police laying out the facts. Blood tests showed a sky-high alcohol level – 333mg per 100ml, way over legal limits and called “severely intoxicated.” Toxicology found only his meds for high blood pressure and epilepsy, no illegal stuff. No signs of struggle or poison – just a sad mishap. Web updates confirm the hearing continues Feb 3-4 but cops rule out crime.

Back home in Assam, rumors flew wild – even murder charges against seven folks in a special probe. But Singapore’s take.? Pure accident or “misadventure.” X is lit with fresh takes: @SevenSisNews shared police saying he was “heavily intoxicated” and no vest, sparking debates on safety. Deeper X searches show fans mourning since 2025 with posts like @ArpanaSpeaks listing 10 key facts from court.

Zubeen’s legacy.? Huge – he sang hits, acted and boosted Assamese culture. His death at 52 stunned millions, especially after that yacht bash turned deadly.

Timeline Sept 19, 2025: Zubeen at North East India Festival yacht party (day before Singapore performance). Initially wore life jacket for first swim, later removed claiming fatigue. Returned to yacht, announced second swim toward Lazarus Island sans jacket despite captain’s reminders.

Witnesses saw singer swimming back when suddenly “went limp, floated face-down.” Coast Guard rescued, CPR administered – pronounced dead 5:13 PM hospital. Autopsy: 333mg alcohol/100ml blood (Singapore legal limit 80mg) – severely intoxicated state confirmed.
