Daijiworld Media Network - Mangaluru (SP) 

Mangaluru, Feb 19: In a tragic incident which happened at Kotekar Beeri near here on Tuesday February 19 morning, a couple, both senior citizens, chose to embrace death by hanging themselves.

The persons who met death in this manner have been identified as Devaraj Ganiga (74), and his wife, Vasanthi (64). Devaraj was a retired employee of Akashavani.

The couple has left behind a death note before bidding adieu to the world. The death note mentions that the property left behind by the couple will go to Shwetha, daughter of Vasanthi's elder brother. Shwetha has been vested with the responsibility of taking good care of the dog and cat belonging to the couple.

The deceased couple had no issues. Both, it is gathered, were suffering from chronic ailments.

Ullal police inspector, Gopikrishna, along with other personnel, visited the spot and undertook investigation.

    So Sad
    Government should take care of senior Citizens or at least be in touch with them
    Parents become burden after some time

    Religious communities which collect huge donations and free land from people should look after the people in their area s. I think God will be happy with such acts rather than the nonsense we are witnessing nowadays. Representatives of these religious should go around and identify families in distress so that they can be helped emotionally, spiritually and financially.

    Anil mangalore,it is not only religious communities responsibilities but of every citizens to lookafter a ailing citizen,or a neighbour know to inform either next kin or inform .Give some help if possible or to inform social service team.why noone knew about these people ?They had some relatives .Did any religious heads collected from these people any money and left back?One should be careful to blame them.we always blame others ,but self dont do anythingtowards next one.sad they hanged themselves without asking some help from others.may thier soul rest in peace.Even these aged couple could go to a home for the aged when not in a stage to help themselves.

    My respects for this couple.
    They did not have issues, I do not think that might be an issue for them at all. They lived their life happily, without building up assets for the children. When they felt that they have lived life to the full they decided to end it before going to the misery of being helped by others for day today activities.
    Lucky ones, I envy them.
    May both of you rest in peace, together.
