After hearing stories of escapes from the Mumbai attacks by Chicago residents last week, now comes sad news that one of the American deaths was that of Sandeep "Sam" Jeswani of Andersonville, who was one of the victims shot at the Oberoi hotel. Nita Santwani, the wife of Jeswani's cousin, briefly talked to the press, confirming Jeswani's death and saying, "It's a shock to the whole family." Frederick Robertson, CEO of Wisconsin-based TomoTherapy Inc where Jeswani worked, confirmed Jeswani's death. According to Robertson, Jeswani had been in Mumbai on business. Jeswani's wife, Maribeth, declined to comment further.
