Udupi: A 59-year-old man allegedly committed suicide at a home in Korangrapady on Friday night, with his death note stating that he was taking his life due to problems within the family.
The deceased person has been identified as Vasantha Kotian, who was in the catering business. Kotian has reportedly written in his death note that he had problems with his wife, which had not only led to depression but was also the reason for him to take his own life. Kotian, therefore, hanged himself to death from a rod outside his house in Korangrapady.

Woman, daughter escape rhino attack during safari in Kaziranga; driver suspended
Kaziranga (Assam), Jan 6: A woman and her daughter had a close shave in Assam's Kaziranga National Park (KNP) when they fell off a safari vehicle with rhinos in close proximity, an official said on Monday.
The driver was suspended and an enquiry was ordered, DFO and Deputy Director of the KNP Arun Vignesh said.
The incident happened when the driver accelerated and took a sharp turn after seeing two rhinos nearby, he said adding that action will be taken on the basis of the enquiry report.
Vignesh appealed to the safari vehicle drivers to be careful while driving inside the Park.
The girl fell from the open vehicle while they were taking a safari inside the Bagori range of the KNP and her mother jumped out to pick her up, the official said.
In a video that has gone viral on social media, two rhinos were seen nearby when the incident happened. PTI, however, could not verify the authenticity of the video.
The driver, however, stopped the vehicle at a distance and the two climbed into it again, the official said.
The two were not injured, except for a few scratches, and were taken for medical aid as they were in a state of shock for a while.
The two were from the nearby Harmoti area in Nagaon district.
The official pointed out that both the drivers of the jeeps and tourists should be careful while taking a safari inside the KNP.
He urged all tourists to follow the rules strictly.
President of Kaziranga Jeep Safari Association Mohen Saikia that such an incident has never occurred before in the history of the Park and it is the ''lack of training and experience of a section of young drivers''.
He urged the authorities to arrange for proper training of the drivers.
Meanwhile, another person was injured in a rhino attack in Burapahar range of the Park when he had gone to help forest guards in some work.
The person, identified as Lakhi Teron, was admitted to a hospital and his condition was stated to be critical, a forest official said.
The KNP is a UNESCO World Heritage site which is home to nearly 3,000 greater one-horn rhinoceros.
The Park also has wild buffalo, elephants, swamp deer and tigers.
