Ghaziabad psychiatrist found dead year after divorce battle, suicide suspected
Police said that they have not found a suicide note, adding that the body has been sent for autopsy.
A 39-year-old psychiatrist was found deceased after purportedly falling from the fifth floor of her residence in Ghaziabad's Raj Nagar Extension, according to police reports released on Monday. The tragic incident occurred around 7pm on Sunday when nearby residents and security personnel heard a commotion caused by someone falling.
They promptly rushed the woman to a nearby hospital, where she was pronounced dead. Police identified the deceased as a practicing psychiatrist in Ghaziabad who had recently gone through a divorce proceeding that had spanned approximately one-and-a-half years. Furthermore, there were ongoing legal disputes between the woman and her husband, which police suspect may have contributed to her mental state deteriorating into depression, potentially leading to her death.
It is important to note that no suicide note was discovered at the scene, and the body has since been handed over for an autopsy. The family has yet to lodge a formal police complaint regarding the matter. Police have requested that if any complaint is lodged, it will be handled accordingly. The deceased was reportedly living alone in her flat, with her father residing in Ghaziabad.
