On Saturday morning, the doctors on their visit did not find the patient on his bed, thinking the patient might have gone somewhere the doctors moved on to inspect other patients. However, when he did not return even after 45 minutes, the doctors grew suspicious and they started to look for him.
While checking the terrace, they found his body hanging on the metal angle. He hung himself with a payjama said an officer. Police did not find a suicide note from him.
