Ahmedabad: A prominent city-based gynaecology oncologist has allegedly committed suicide by jumping off from the fourth floor of a multi storey building. The doctor was allegedly depressed for the last few months and had tried to end her life before as well.
The deceased, 62-year-old female, was a practising doctor at MP Shah Hospital and consultant at several private hospitals in the city. She had an experience of over 30 years in the profession and was working as a professor at Gujarat Cancer and Research Institute as well. The ambulance and later local private doctors were immediately called, who declared her dead. There was no blood seen, hence it was speculated that she died of internal haemorrhage.
