Bengaluru: A 14-year-old boy was found dead at his house in south Bengaluru on Monday, police said, suspecting it was a case of death by suicide.
The deceased Gandhaar G Prasada, a Class 7 student, stayed with his parents and an elder brother in Banagirinagar, Banashankari.
His father, Ganesh Prasad, a music artist, and his elder brother, a degree student, discovered the body at 5.40 am in Gaandhar's room.
"His mother Savitha, who is a singer, is on a foreign trip to Australia for an event," a police officer told DH.
According to police sources, the deceased left behind a lengthy suicide note where he asked forgiveness from his parents. “Dear family, whoever is reading this, please do not cry, as I am already in heaven. And please do not mistake me. I know how you guys are feeling now. It hurts, I know. I did this to make this house a better place. I know that I have made you guys angry, sad, mad and irritated, etc.
“But my intentions weren’t like that. And if you are angry about me, I am really sorry. Please forgive me for every sin and misdeed I have created and done. And I felt happy to live 14 years of my life. I am happy in heaven. Please tell all of my friends that I love them all, including my school friends. I will miss you all very much. Goodbye amma,” the note read.
Police said there was no foul play as of now, and the CK Achu Kattu station officials registered an Unnatural Death Report (UDR).
