Udupi: Elderly woman jumps from 7th floor of residential complex in apparent suicide
Udupi: In a tragic incident that occurred on Saturday morning, an elderly woman jumped from the 7th floor of a residential complex in an apparent suicide in Udupi.
The deceased has been identified as Gangamma (70), a resident of Chitradurga.
Reportedly the elderly Gangamma had been living in her son’s apartment for a couple of months in the residential complex next to the city’s Big Bazaar. She had recently contracted COVID and had recovered from the illness a few days ago, it is learned. Since her husband was COVID positive, he was admitted to a private hospital seeking treatment. Speculations have been made that Gangamma must have died by suicide after being heartbroken about her husband’s illness.
Social worker Nityanand Olakadu helped transport the deceased’s body to the concerned department for the impending autopsy.
A case has been registered in this regard at the city’s police station.
