Mangaluru, Dec 20: A youth who consumed poison in a suicide bid two days ago passed away in a private hospital in Deralakatte near here on Saturday December 20.

The deceased has been identified as James Nitesh (22), son of Benedict D'Souza and Selvine D'Souza, residents of Ullal Hoige in Permannur.

It is said that on Thursday December 18 afternoon, he had gone out for lunch with friends, and after coming home, consumed insecticide in an attempt to end his life. It is learnt that no one was at home at the time of the incident.

James was taken to a hospital in Thokkottu and then to a private hospital in Deralakatte for advanced treatment. However, he failed to respond and breathed his last on Saturday.

He had completed his studies at Xavier Industrial Training Centre, Asaigoli and was looking for a job abroad.

The reason behind taking the extreme step is not yet known.

Benedict D'Souza is an assistant at Milagres Church in Mangaluru, while his wife Selvine stays abroad. Their daughter is a teacher by profession.

Ullal police have registered a case.

    Yet another suicide!!!

    Did this guy think suicide is a nice gift for his parents, sister & his relatives for this Christmas???
    Before taking this type of extreme steps in their life, why don't they think about their beloved who were with them all these years in their both good & bad time. Unbelievable!!

    RIP James!

Never know how one can face any given situation.. few are emotionally weak and few may be strong to face reality!... it is KARMA ..predetermined-Destiny!>.. however, it is just a MOMENT!! if the person, passes that moment, he will probably live more stronger!. BEeso donneyinda tappidre Nooru varsuha ayussu.. study some psychology!!..

    Depression carries a high risk of suicide. If the depression is not treated than there is a chance of committing suicide. May be he was having some depression which was not noticed by his close people. This is one type of sickness. We must show sympathy towards these people
