According to police, the first body was found around 5:15pm on a footpath behind the DMCH emergency department. Hospital ward boys noticed the woman lying unconscious and brought her inside, where on-duty doctors declared her dead.
About an hour later, passersby spotted an elderly man lying unconscious on the footpath near the Central Shaheed Minar. They alerted police, and with the help of bystanders, Shahbagh police transported him to the DMCH emergency unit. He too was pronounced dead upon arrival.
Asaduzzaman said investigators are also looking into whether the deaths occurred naturally or if there were other circumstances involved.
