CA Dies by Suicide by Inhaling Helium After Gambling Losses
A man in India who worked as a chartered accountant ended his own life because he lost a lot of money by gambling.
Gambling is when you bet money on games, and the man had become addicted to it.
He lost so much money that he even sold his own flat, or apartment, in Hyderabad.
His relatives tried to help him with his money problems, but he was still very upset.
He bought a special gas called helium and other equipment from an area called Balanagar.
He also watched videos on YouTube to learn about what he planned to do.
He went to a hotel room in a town called Siddipet and breathed in the gas through a mask.
The hotel workers knocked on his door many times, but nobody answered.
They called the police, who entered the room through a window and found him lying dead.
The police also found a note he had written saying he chose to end his life because of his gambling losses.
A 33-year-old chartered accountant was found dead in a hotel room in Siddipet district, Telangana.
Police said he allegedly died by suicide by inhaling helium gas after suffering huge losses in gambling.
He purchased a helium gas cylinder from Balanagar along with equipment and used a mask to inhale the gas.
A suicide note found in the room purportedly said he decided to end his life due to losing money in gambling.
Hotel staff alerted police on August 4 after he did not respond to repeated door knocks, and police found him lying dead inside.
