Kolar: The bodies of an 84-year-old man and his 44-year-old son were found in a decomposed state in a house at MN Nagar, Bangarpet taluk of Kolar district, on Thursday.

The bodies found in Bangarpet have been identified as those of Vasantharaju (84) and his son Suryaprakash (44). The son is suspected to have committed suicide three days ago in the house. Vasantharaju, who was in Suryaprakash's care, was allegedly upset by the loss of his son, and is suspected by the neighbours to have died due to depression on account of his son's death. The reason for the duo's death, however, is yet to be confirmed.
