The deceased is Joshuva, son of Chris George who resides at Skyline Palmtop apartment in Vazhakala. It was around 7.40am that residents of the apartment found a body at the swimming pool.
Later, it was confirmed that the deceased was Joshuva, whose family resides in a flat on the fourth floor of the building. He was a Class XI student at a private school in Thrikkakara. His parents last saw him on Monday night before he went to sleep.
