According to the police, the body was hanging by a plastic wire, with the death having taken place on Saturday night. Passersby informed the police around 7.30 am. No death note was found.
"The youngster seemed to be hailing from a good family. He appeared determined to end his life as we didn't find anything apart from a daily BMTC concession pass," a police officer said.
The body has been kept at Bowring Hospital where a post-mortem will be conducted after the young man's identity is known. Cubbon Park police have registered a case of unnatural death under Section 174 of CrPC.
