Bengaluru (PTI): A couple was found dead at their home here on Wednesday, police said.

The deceased were identified as David (35), a driver, and his wife Sumitra (30), they said.

The incident came to light around 12.30 pm, police said, adding that no suicide note was recovered from the spot.

When police inspected the spot, David was found hanging from a ceiling fan using a saree, while his wife was found lying dead on a bed with no visible injuries on her body, a senior police officer said.

Police suspect David might have smothered his wife before dying by suicide, though the exact cause of her death would be known only after the post-mortem examination, the officer said.

The couple had been married for seven years and had two children, who were at a relative's house at the time of the incident, police said.

All angles, including the possibility of a domestic dispute behind the incident, are being probed, police said.
