Emmerdale fans believe Rishi Sharma (Bhasker Patel) was murdered after he passed away on Thursday (July 27).
Last week, Jai Sharma (Chris Bisson) and Laurel Thomas (Charlotte Bellamy) tied the knot in front of their family and friends, however Rishi wasn’t present following his fall out with his son.
At the wedding, Jai shared an emotional speech about those who were unable to celebrate with them, later vowing to end the rift between them.

But in heartbreaking scenes, Rishi’s lifeless body was discovered at the bottom of the stairs at his home by Jai on Friday (July 28).
While it seems Rishi could have passed away due to health issues which could have caused him to fall down the stairs, other believe something more sinister occurred.
Sharing their dark theories on social media, one fan wrote: “Rishi was pushed i’ll put money on it,” as a second claimed: “Bet jai pushed rishi down the stairs.”
Another viewer echoed: “Last one of the week and it’s tragic poor rishi how dare emmerdale kill him off……( he was pushed by sunni ).”

“Could there be a twist and Rishi was pushed down the stairs. Definitely wasn’t Jai, but who else had a motive,” questioned a fourth person.
While a fifth speculated: “Im thinking its Suni if there was a twist, hes just come back and is acting all nice, he may have been sent by his dad as he knows that Jai was really his?!”
On the day of his tragic death, Rishi revealed the identity of Jai’s biological father.
Rishi was joined by his ex-wife Georgia Sharma (Lin Blakey) who insisted Jai know the truth about his dad.
Rishi admitted: “It’s my brother. He had an affair with Georgia and he’s your real father.”
During Monday’s instalment (July 31) of the ITV soap, Jai came moments away from telling Suni Sharma (Brahmdeo Shannon Ramana) that they are actually half brothers, but decided against it and said Rishi will always be his real dad.
