TV actor found dead in Chennai

A Tamil TV actor on Wednesday reportedly committed suicide at her house in Chennai, apparently because of differences with her husband, who is being questioned in this connection, police said.

The matter came to light on Wednesday morning when the maid arrived at the 32-year-old actor's house and nobody answered the door, they said.\

The servant then looked through a window and found Priyanka's body hanging, the police said.

The maid informed the neighbours about this, and they called the police.

Priyanka had acted in several Tamil television serials including Vamsam in which she acted alongside Ramya Krishnan of Baahubali-fame.

Investigations have begun and Priyanka's husband of three years is being questioned, police said.

He was not at home when the reported suicide took place, they said.

Priyanka's parents residing in Madurai have been informed, they said, adding that the body has been sent for an autopsy.
