The family members said that Abhirami had no particular reason to commit suicide. It is not yet clear what happened. The police are trying to collect more information from colleagues and friends and conduct an investigation.
Abhirami reportedly committed suicide around 6.30 pm on Tuesday. When Abhirami was unreachable by phone, her mother, Ramadevi, informed the owner of the house. Upon their arrival, they discovered Abhirami unconscious in her room after breaking through the rear windows. Abhirami was rushed to the hospital but unfortunately passed away. She was residing as a paying guest near the medical college for three years. The preliminary assessment suggests that an overdose of anesthesia medication may have caused her death.
