Following Murugan's disappearance on the fourth day, the police and forest department launched an investigation. Due to the lack of reliable mobile network coverage in the area, the authorities were unable to confirm whether Murugan had safely arrived at his destination. As a result, they reached out to his family to gather more information.
During a joint investigation by the forest department and police, the bodies of the two individuals were discovered in separate locations. One body was found in the Chembavatta forest, while the other was discovered in Swarnagada. Heavy rainfall in Attapadi had caused the Parakar River to swell, and initial findings suggest that the two men likely lost their lives in the river.
