It might be no coincidence, but it happened in a Covid-19 observation centre in Kerala's Pathanamthitta district, where an under observation 41-year-old person committed suicide on Thursday. September 10 is observed as the World Suicide Prevention Day across the world. Nishanth was found hanging from a ceiling fan in the Covid observation centre run by the state government.

The authorities said he was restless for a few days as he used to consume liquor regularly. But in the observation centre, he could not get liquor resulting in the development of withdrawal symptoms in him. On Thursday morning, he spoke to his wife over the phone and said that he will commit suicide.
