Shivamogga: A 26-year-old man allegedly died by suicide in Gandralli village of Hosanagar taluk in Shivamogga district after reportedly struggling with depression following a love failure.
According to a report by Asianet News, the deceased has been identified as Srijith Naik (26). According to family members, he was found hanging from a tree near his house on Thursday morning.
Family members reportedly said Srijith had faced difficulties in rebuilding his life after being jailed three years ago in connection with a love-related case. After his release, he found it difficult to fit back into society. His family said he continued to struggle emotionally following the incident and his time in jail.

According to relatives, the emotional distress led him to develop a drinking habit, and he had been consuming alcohol frequently.
The night before he died, his mother and brothers asked him to have dinner. But Srijith just said, "I've already eaten, I'm not hungry," before going to his room.
Early the next morning around 5:30 am, his family noticed he was not in his bed and began searching for him. They later found him hanging from a tree in front of the house using his lungi.
Police from the Ripponpete Police Station reached the spot and began an investigation. A preliminary inquiry suggests that the suicide may have been linked to depression following the love failure.
Police have registered a case and further investigation is underway.
