Khelashvili was a councilor of the Georgian President's Pardons Commission and, in parallel, held a post in the late Prime Minister Zurab Zhvania's office, a spokesperson for the State Chancery told RIA Novosti.
The 32-year-old official committed suicide last night in his own flat.
"At the current stage of our inquiry we are considering suicide as the only version of what has happened," a representative of the district prosecutor's office told RIA Novosti.
As prosecutors learned from members of Khelashvili's family, the late official had left a letter of apology before he committed suicide. According to his relatives, Khelashvili had been in a state of deep depression over the weeks preceding the incident.
An official of Georgia's law enforcement bodies told RIA Novosti that he categorically ruled out any link between Khelashvili's suicide and Georgian Prime Minister Zurab Zhvania's death on Thursday.
