A day after an 80-year-old man hung himself to death in Coimbatore fearing that he might have contracted the virus, a 67-yearold Covid patient in Salem jumped off the fourth floor of a private hospital, where he was undergoing treatment, on Friday, killing himself.
An official source said Govindan was undergoing treatment in the hospital for the past four days, after he tested positive for Covid. “He was in a state of depression. His relatives were not allowed to meet him since it was an isolation ward and Govindan chose not to interact with the hospital staff too. On Friday around 9am, he went out of the ward on the fourth floor and jumped out. He suffered multiple fractures and died on the spot.”
A few days ago, a 65-yearold man undergoing treatment for Covid-19 had committed suicide by hanging in the Government Mohan Kumaramangalam Medical College and Hospital after his son succumbed to the virus in Dharmapuri government hospital.
