Wife of Moshi Garbage Depot Tragedy Victim Dies By Suicide
A very sad thing happened in a town called Moshi, near Pune in India.
A big pile of garbage at a recycling factory fell over and trapped the workers inside.
Nine workers died in that accident, including a man named Nagesh Gaikwad.
Nagesh left behind his wife, two little daughters, and his parents.
More than a month later, his wife Sonali also died.
She was just 23 years old and passed away at her home.
The police said she died by suicide and are still looking into why.
No note explaining what happened was found.
This has been a very hard time for a family that has now lost two people.
Sonali Gaikwad, 23, wife of Moshi garbage depot tragedy victim Nagesh Gaikwad, died by suicide at her residence in Moshi on Wednesday evening.
Police said she died by hanging at around 7 pm; no suicide note has been found.
An Accidental Death Report is being registered at the MIDC Bhosari Police Station, and an inquest has been conducted with the post-mortem pending.
Her death comes just over a month after Nagesh was killed when a waste mound collapsed onto the depot's administrative building on 8 July (also cited as 9 July).
Nagesh was one of nine workers killed in the collapse, which trapped 23 workers; his body was recovered on 11 July after a nearly 84-hour rescue operation.
