His friends tried contacting him on Wednesday morning, but their calls went unanswered. When he did not open the door despite knocking, they called the cops.
The police broke open the door and found Vijayan lying dead in his bathroom with injuries to his head and face, the report said. A case of unnatural death has been registered.
"Initial probe suggests he died because of a fall," a police officer in Neelangarai told NDTV.
Vijayan was best known for his roles in films like Thegidi (2014), Meyaadha Maan (2017), Teddy (2021), Irumbu Thirai (2018) and Rudhran (2023).
