The medico was a resident of Chennai and she was staying with her mother in a rented apartment at Madagadipet. The medico was found hanging herself in her room on Friday night. UNI reports that the police are yet to confirm the reason behind such a tragic incident but it was initially speculated that the medico took the drastic step due to her frustration with life.

At a time like this, when MBBS interns and medicos are extending the services day is night in order to contain the pandemic situation of the country, the sudden demise of a young medico has brought grief into the medical community.
