A foreign pilot died at Sadar Hospital here yesterday in mysterious circumstances.
Cuznetov Aleg, 40, pilot of a Ukrainian cargo plane and a national of Moldavia, fell sick at around 3:00pm in his hotel suite.
Hotel authorities rushed him to the hospital where he died shortly after admission, hospital sources said.
"Aleg was suffering from respiratory problems when he was brought in and died after some time," said on-duty doctor Shafiqul Islam.
Police sent the body to the hospital morgue for autopsy to ascertain the cause of death.
Aleg was among the 20 Russian-origin pilots of six ATL cargo planes now engaged in transportation of shrimp fry from the Cox's Bazar coast to Jessore. He lived in Hotel International Plaza near the seashore.
A unnatural death case was filed with police.
