Vlogger couple found dead in Kerala's Parassala
Thiruvananthapuram (PTI): A vlogger couple, who had hundreds of followers on YouTube, were found dead at their house in Parassala in this district, police said on Monday.
The deceased were identified as Selvaraj (45), a mason by profession, and his wife Priya (37), natives of Cheruvarakonam here.
According to police, the couple were found dead on Sunday by their son, who is working as a trainee in an institution in Ernakulam district. He reached home and found his mother lying on the bed and his father hanging in the same room, they said.
Police had earlier suspected that both persons had died of suicide, but the postmortem report mentioned strangulation marks on the neck of the woman.
"We cannot confirm now whether the woman was murdered. Doctors found strangulation marks on her body during the postmortem. But we can confirm the exact cause of the death only after the chemical examination results come," a police officer said.
He said the woman was considered to have died first.
"Her body had signs of decay when we reached her home on Sunday. But there was no such issue in terms of the man's body. It is suspected that the man had died hours after the death of his wife," the officer said.
The couple also reportedly posted a video on their YouTube channel, which was said to have over 18,000 followers, hours before the death.

UP: Misled by GPS navigation, car falls into river from partially constructed bridge, 3 dead
Bareilly (UP), Nov 24: Three people died when their car fell into the Ramganga river from a partially constructed bridge here on Sunday, police said, adding that they suspect the driver was misled by its navigation system into taking the unsafe route.
The accident occurred around 10 am on the Khalpur-Dataganj road when the victims were travelling from Bareilly to Dataganj in the Badaun district, they said.
"Earlier this year, floods had caused the front portion of the bridge to collapse into the river, but this change had not been updated in the system," Circle Officer Ashutosh Shivam said.
The driver was using a navigation system and did not realise that the bridge was unsafe, driving the car off the damaged section, the police said.
There were no safety barriers or warning signs on the approach to the damaged bridge, leading to the fatal accident, Shivam said.
Upon receiving information, police teams from Faridpur, Bareilly and Dataganj police station rushed to the spot. They recovered the vehicle and the bodies from the river, Shivam added.
The circle officer said that bodies had been sent for post-mortem. Further investigation into the matter is underway.
