**Manipal, December 7, 2024** – A 38-year-old man from Kasaragod district, Kerala, was found dead in Manipal, Udupi district, on Friday morning. Initial reports suggested a possible murder due to a neck wound, but police investigation, including CCTV footage analysis, now indicates the death was a suicide.
The deceased, identified as Sridhar, a resident of Neerchalu, Kasaragod, had been working at a Manipal hotel for the past year. Locals discovered his body and alerted the police. While a slit wound was initially observed, the investigation revealed Sridhar likely used a broken glass bottle to inflict the self-inflicted injury.
A thorough investigation is ongoing, pending the post-mortem report. Police have ruled out foul play based on current evidence.
