Coimbatore: A final year MBBS student of the Karpagam Medical College at Othakkalmandapam here committed suicide by hanging at the boys hostel on Thursday evening.

Police identified the deceased as Naveenkumar, 22, from Thiruvannamalai.

“He had come to the college hostel five days ago to attend the arrear examination. He had failed in a subject in the second year and was depressed. He was undergoing treatment for the last two years. He had met with an accident two weeks ago and had fractured his left hand. He became more depressed after the accident. His mother had visited the hostel on Thursday morning to meet him. She left in the afternoon. When she phoned him later, there was no response. She contacted the hostel warden and asked him to check her son. The warden rushed to the hostel room to find Naveenkumar dead,” a police officer said.
