NAGAPATTINAM: A 45-year-old flower vendor committed suicide in Nagapattinam district of Tamil Nadu on Sunday after his friend’s daughter died in a road accident while he was taking her to school on a two-wheeler on Saturday.
The deceased man has been identified as Veeramani of Pookara Street in Velankanni.
On Saturday, Veeramani’s friend Mathiazhagan called him over phone and requested him to drop his daughter, M Mahara Jothi, 16, in school. Jothi was a Class XI in a private school in Nagore.
While Veeramani and Jothi were going to her school, an SETC bus hit his two-wheeler at Paravai on the East Coast Road. The accident happened when Veeramani tried to cross the ECR without noticing the bus. The bus driver's rash driving was also a reason for the accident, according to the Velankanni police.
Jothi and Veeramani sustained injuries. They were rushed to Nagapattinam Government Hospital where she died.
Veeramani returned home after being treated as an outpatient in the hospital. However, he appeared depressed as he felt guilty. He was lamenting that he was the reason for the death of the girl.
On Sunday morning, his body was found hanging from a tree in nearby North Pogainallur village.
Veeramani is survived by his wife and two sons.
