“Like that, he was here on Sunday (2nd March). His brother was also along with him,” said the local, who on Monday morning was startled to hear the news that the doctor had committed suicide, reports IANS.

Dr Abraham had arrived at the farmhouse with his younger brother on Sunday evening and later sent him away. He was later found hanging in the farmhouse.

In his long career as a renal transplant specialist, Abraham wrote himself into medical history when he became just the third surgeon to harvest a kidney from a donor using the laparoscopic method.

Among the other path-breaking work done by Abraham includes a transplant from a cadaver and a few other procedures not normally done in Kerala

A very strong academic, Abraham was a popular person, attending seminars and meetings and sharing his expertise with his juniors.

The local police have registered a case of unnatural death and have commenced a probe.

His funeral will be held in the afternoon at St George Jacobite Syrian Church, Cheruthottukunnel.
